The winter hike starts at the valley station of the Sparrhorn chairlift in the direction of Schönbiel (2300 m a.s.l.) Below the chairlift, take the path to the left. From here you climb up the path to the Schönbiel mountain station. The winter hiking trail is located next to the downhill slope. The hike takes about 45 minutes.
Once you arrive at Schönbiel, you can enjoy the sunshine and refreshments at Ricco's Igloo. From Schönbiel you have a wonderful panoramic view of the wintry Belalp and the Valais mountains.
There are several options for the way back. You can get to the starting point of your winter hike with the Bruchegg chairlift or via the winter hiking trail. If you would like to go down to Chiematte and the top station of the gondola lift, you can either use the Kelchbach chairlift or take the Weisse Meile winter hiking trail.
