If there is enough snow in the valley, the skins can already be mounted almost down in St. Stephan. Otherwise, you go along the road until there is enough snow and then finally ski through forest and field towards the goal. It takes some patience until the forest clears on Chirschbüelhubel and the Wistätthore becomes visible. The view over the Obersimmental during the ascent, over the Lasenberg, makes up for the long approach. From the hindere Laseberg, it's then about 500 meters elevation gain to the summit of Wistätthore. The panorama is breathtaking.

The descent starts along the ascent route with beautiful slopes. Then either continue following the ascent route over Chirschbüel or enjoy another very nice slope in the Dürrewald. Along the snow-covered Dürrewaldstrasse, the ascent track is reached again, which is then followed back to St. Stephan.

Classification according to SAC difficulty scale for ski tours: L+


  • Approach

    By main road from Zweisimmen or Lenk to St. Stephan.

  • Take the train to St. Stephan station. From there, continue on foot until you reach the snow and can put on the skins.

  • At the school parking lot in St. Stephan

  • St. Stephan - Brendli - Laseberg - Wistätthore

  • For ski tours, the appropriate equipment and necessary expertise (avalanche knowledge, alpine skills) are mandatory! If you have no experience assessing the avalanche situation in open terrain, it is better to go on a ski tour with a trained mountain guide/ski instructor.

  • As with any ski tour, an avalanche transceiver, probe, shovel, and crampons are part of the equipment.

  • If there is not much snow left in the valley, you can park by car along the Rüwlisstrasse. Park so that other cars can pass!
