At the mountain station of the Nüegg chairlift, the route Underi Heitere, Wirie, Wiriehore is chosen. Down on a hard surface, the lowest point of the hike is reached at Underi Heitere. The route then ascends along a forest road, across alpine pastures and through woods past the Bodeflue towards Alp Wirie. Here you orient yourself by the signpost to Abendmatte. Passing the turnoff to the Wiriehore, the hike leads to the saddle Pt. 2031. From here, the descent continues via Gurbs and Mettenberg to Abendmatte. Along the slope without major elevation changes over Tubelfärrich, through alpine pastures, down past the mountain restaurant Schwarzenberg, the circle of the circular hike closes again at Nüegg." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://img.oastatic.com/img2/49716823/max/variant.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > www.interlaken.swiss/en/ > Experiences > Tour" --- GPX Share Around the Wiriehore ==================== - 9.20 km long - Round trip - Difficulty: medium - Condition: easy - Hiking Trail - 3:30 h - 9.20 km - 622 m - 625 m - 1,410 m - 2,032 m - 622 m - - Start: Nüegg - Destination: Nüegg **Hike away from the major tourist flows around the Wiriehore, the landmark of the Diemtigtal.
