    A combination of winter and snowshoe hike from Palüd up to Niggenkopf.

    This tour starts at the mountain station of the Palüdbahn in Brand. From here, the first section of the trail leads up to the Palüdhütte via a narrow, prepared winter hiking trail. From there you have the option of continuing on snowshoes through the forest in the direction of Niggenkopf / Niggenkopf Terrasse. The last stretch to the Niggenkopf Terrasse is again on a prepared path. The way back is the same. The descent is by the Palüdbahn cable car.
