Viktor Röthlin Trail - Red

Welcome to my home in Obwalden. Running has allowed me to get to know many beautiful places in the world, but I have never lost my roots. And so I'm delighted to be able to show all running enthusiasts my three favorite trails on Melchsee Frutt.

Red trail
We start our warm-up from the mountain station in an anti-clockwise direction around Lake Melchsee. At the Balmeregg valley station, the trail leads us up to the right along the ski lift. Burning calves and a lot of sweat are guaranteed on the way up. However, you are then rewarded with a real summit experience on the Balmeregghorn, the highest point on this trail at 2,255m above sea level. This is followed by a fantastic ridge run over the Erzegg down to the Tannensee. If you look straight ahead, you can see Engstlensee, Jochpass and Titlis far behind. From Tannalp, my trail leads us up to Bonistock at 2,160 m above sea level. Shortly before that, you will experience my personal highlight on this loop. If you look to the right, you can see as far as the Mitteland. If you look to the left, the beautiful high plateau with Melchsee and Tannensee lakes lies at your feet. From now on, it's all downhill back to the starting point at the mountain station.

I wish you lots of fun on my trails in the heart of Switzerland. And who knows, maybe we'll meet again soon. If you overtake me on one of my trails, please look back and say hello ;-)

Best regards
Viktor Röthlin
