Leisurely winter hike from Lauchernalp to Wiler.

The Lauchernalp-Wiler route serves skiers as a descent route, sledders as a sledge run and winter hikers as a winter hiking path - a truly multifunctional way, so to speak. Nevertheless, a leisurely hike from Lauchernalp via the holiday hamlet Fischbiel to Wiler is worthwhile. Those who prefer it faster should take a sled with them!
