The 15-kilometer long winter hiking trails on Springenboden lead through the deeply snow-covered forests and meadows of the southern slope of the Diemtigtal, high above the valley floor of the Diemtigtal Nature Park. The hiking trail via "Alp Ottenschwand" is rather challenging and leads up to 1500 m above sea level. After the ascent, an impressive view of the inner Diemtigtal and the Simmental opens up. Back at the starting point, winter hikers can warm up with a hot drink in one of the mountain inns.
The shortcut variants "Ahorni-Satteli" and "Neuenstift-Satteli" are suitable for short walks with little elevation difference.
