The small compact residential settlement Löwwigadmen lies just under 100 meters above the mountain village of Reckingen. The circular route is suitable for a short rejuvenating walk in the Goms winter landscape.
Behind the hamlet, an earth embankment was built after the avalanche winter of 1970 to protect against avalanches. A monument on the village square, opposite the start of this route, still commemorates the devastating natural disaster of the Bächital avalanche.
The prepared snow path can be combined as desired with other winter hiking trails of the extensive winter hiking trail network of Goms.

Safety guidelines
Using the winter hiking trails is at your own risk. Obergoms Tourismus AG accepts no liability and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the information on this website.
Carry a hiking map with you or download the complete description of the trail with a large-scale map. Use only marked trails and observe all signs and notices - for your safety, to protect the landscape, and out of respect for wildlife. Behave considerately towards other trail users. Take your waste and other people's waste with you.
Weather conditions in the mountains can change very quickly and without warning. Appropriate clothing and sufficient provisions (food and drink) are very important. In bad weather, it is better to turn back early.
Carry additional sun protection. UV rays at high altitudes can be very strong in winter, even under cloudy skies.
Plan your trip carefully and thoroughly. Inform yourself in advance about current conditions (avalanche risk, cross-country ski trails, winter hiking trails, snowshoe trails, and road conditions) and weather conditions. The winter sports report provides valuable information on this from the region.
