Trail details

Description

The snowshoe trail leads from Blitzingen-Bodmen along the river Rhone close to its source through snow-covered riverside woodland and larch forests. The figure-of-eight-shaped trail reaches the Ritzingen Rhone bridge, from where the trail gently undulates on the way back to the starting point. On this tour, the snowshoers can enjoy stunning views of the Goms area's villages.
