Obwalden – the cross-country skiing paradise

This is the "El Dorado" of cross-country skiing. This gloriously idyllic high valley at alt. 1444 m benefits from some 40 km of groomed trails. The skate- and classic-style trails are well marked throughout the area. Some lead over moorland of national importance.

The scenically arranged and gently undulating Pirmin and Fröschenseeli trails pass through the idyllic pine forest of the large Schlieren valley. These are good for more advanced skiers.
Novices: by offering space and level sections, the Langis is also suitable for beginners by helping them to build up confidence.
