Brüggelweg round

The almost three-kilometre loop is suitable for advanced hikers. In addition, the Brüggelweg is a snow-sure value at the beginning and end of winter due to its shady location.

After the start in Selital-Schwarzenbühl and an easy ascent, turn left at the first junction onto Holzerweg. After a short descent of around 700 meters, you immediately start climbing again. After an easy ascent of around 700 meters, take a sharp right onto Brüggelweg and then on almost flat terrain to the Süftenen refuge. From there, the descent leads back to the junction with the Holzerweg.
Tip from the author

At the beginning and end of winter, when snow is scarce, the Holzer and Brüggel trails are usually a snow-sure value in the Gantrisch cross-country skiing center.
