Towards Himmelberg

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

From Gonten you start your hike with a rather gentle climb via Loos and Weberen, then the trail goes up a little more steep to Chuterenegg. With plenty of sun and even more views, turn right on the broad 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, you can take a well-deserved break before continuing to Gontenbad down the slope and past several idyllically situated benches.
