Discover the many leisure options on the Wiriehorn. Go up by chair lift, come back down into the valley by mountain bike or scooter. The Wiriehorn presents nature lovers with a Geological Trail and other attractive hiking trails. In winter visitors can enjoy snowboarding, skiing (downhill and cross-country), snowshoe trekking and sledging in the snowy mountain landscape.
Take a chair lift (which also carries bikes) to the summit station, the starting point for various downhill trails suitable for advanced riders and beginners alike. Every year, the "Weryhorny" section is the venue for the iXS Downhill Cup. At the end of the section, visitors can make free use of the first permanent pump track in the Bernese Oberland. Want to improve your biking skills? The HOT-TRAIL bike school shows kids and adults some great tricks.
Enjoy summer in the mountains and climb the Wiriehorn. The Geological Trail provides an interesting introduction to the alpine landscape in a three-and-a-half hour circular route that starts from the Berghotel Wiriehorn, Nüegg.
Riding a scooter – with friends, family members or colleagues – is great fun. Rent a scooter and a helmet from the summit station, and start the adventure. Follow a paved route through a beautiful fir forest and back into the valley.
The Wiriehorn – the largest ski area in Diemtigtal Nature Park – has a chair lift, four T-bar lifts and children’s lifts. From snowboarding to downhill, the family-friendly ski area promises snowy thrills amid the peaks of the Bernese Oberland. The local ski school offers professional skiing and snowboarding lessons. A cross-country track starts from the "Ferienzentrum Wiriehorn" and leads to the Grimmialp and back.
A 5.6-kme sledging run leads you down into the valley from the summit station at Riedli-Nüegg in around one hour. For a special experience, try night sledging: every Friday evening (weather permitting), headlamp-wearing sledging enthusiasts make the same run between 18.00 and 22.00h. Sledges can be rented from the Stucki Sport shop at the base station.
The snowshoe trail starts from Nüegg summit station and heads towards Tubelfärrich. The route, which takes a little over two hours, promises views of snowy alpine meadows and the mountains beyond – an ideal tour for those wishing to leave the everyday far behind and enjoy nature.
