Description

At the center of this snowshoe trail stands the impressive Bonistock rock, which offers a majestic view.
After a few meters on the winter hiking trail, it starts behind the frutt Lodge & Spa hotel. Strap on your snowshoes and start the ascent to Bonistock. The path steadily climbs along the ridge and offers a great view of the Melchsee-Frutt high plateau. Invigorated by the many natural beauties, you reach the highest point of the route. Enjoy the incomparable panoramic view. From here, continue past the mountain station of the Bonistock chairlift to Chringen. The passage over Chringen can be a smaller or bigger challenge depending on the snow drift. After mastering the crossing, begin the leisurely descent to Tannalp. Take a break and let the silence absorb you or refresh yourself at the restaurant for the return journey. Return goes parallel to the cross-country ski trail along Tannensee and further below the Bonistock rock to the Panorama lift. Take it – nearly 40 meters above Melchsee, the view over the Alpine pearl is even more impressive. Let the day pass by again on the short stretch back to the gondola and take many experiences home with you.
