Gonten – Himmelberg – Gontenbad

Recommended all year round and especially beautiful in winter, even without snow.

From Gonten you climb gently at first via Loos and Weberen, then later more steeply upwards and repeatedly crossing the Flurstrasse to Chuterenegg. That's it for the ascent, now it's time for dessert. With plenty of sun and even more views, turn right on the broad ridge ridge and follow it to the Himmelberg property, where not far below the ridge you can already make out the small, particularly beautifully situated chapel. Here, at the latest, you can take a rest before you reach Gontenbad - always with the Alpstein in view - down the slope and past several idyllic benches.
