The perfectly groomed cross-country ski trail stretches picturesquely across the snow-covered plain between the mountain villages of Obergesteln and Geschinen. The trail is part of the Sonnenloipe. It is ideally suited for sun-hungry ski hikers and cross-country ski beginners and can be ideally combined with the other cross-country trails in the cross-country skiing paradise of Goms.
Near the cross-country ski runs there are numerous catering facilities. Take the opportunity and enjoy a warm soup, a homemade fruit cake or something hearty on one of the numerous sun terraces.
