Schneeschuhtrail Panüöl–Prodalp
Flumserberg, Panüöl–Flumserberg, Prodalp
This scenic snowshoe trail leads at a leisurely pace from Panüöl down to Prodalp. Always in plain view: the impressive mountain panorama of Sarganserland. The snowshoe tour through idyllic winter scenery is ideal for beginners.
The snowshoe trail begins at the Panüöl alpine restaurant. What used to be a small tea hut is now a popular meeting place for winter sports enthusiasts and nature lovers. Enjoy fantastic views of the Spitzmeilen on the cosy sun terrace.
The tour begins with an easy ascent - ideal for a warm-up. The tour's highest point is reached at the foot of the Maschgenkamm. The following descent through the sunlit spruce forest is magnificent. Finally, you get to the groomed Prodalp-Panüöl winter hiking trail and follow it for a short while. The soft murmur of the mountain streams with their elegant ice pillars makes this a perfect winter idyll. With a bit of luck and a keen eye, you can observe snow hares around here. At the Rotenberg rest area, benches invite you to take a breather with views of the imposing Spitzmeilen area. Shortly after Rotenberg, the trail branches off to the right and leaves the winter hiking trail. Trudging through the deep snow, continue towards Prodalp. The trail flattens out, and you slowly approach Prodalp, bustling with wintertime activity.
Before descending to the mountain restaurant, you should take in the fantastic views for a moment: the Churfirsten peaks loom majestically before your eyes - the panoramic views of Selun, Frümsel, Brisi, Zuestoll, Schibenstoll and Hinderrugg are unparalleled. The snowshoe hike reaches its destination at the mountain restaurant. Prodalp is a fabulous place to end the tour and make the most of the afternoon sunshine.
