    Signposted snowshoe tour across meadows and through forests in Brand.

    This signposted snowshoe tour starts below Hotel Sarotla. A footpath between Hotel Sarotla and the golf course brings you to the starting point. From here, follow the pink snowshoe tour signs out of the valley. The route runs mostly over the snow-covered golf course of Brand. After about a quarter of the large loop, you can turn off onto the small loop. The big loop leads in a big loop further out of the valley and then back again to the level of the Marktobel. Here you cross the stream “Alvier” and follow the signs back to the starting point. The snowshoe route is marked with pink marker poles.
