Hiking up Monte San Salvatore in winter
A traveler is planning a winter hike up and down a trail that is usually accessible throughout the year. They want to know if the hike is safe in winter and if it becomes difficult at certain points. Tips on gear and trail conditions are needed for their journey.
- Check the weather and snow conditions before hiking, as the trail can be safe if there's no snow.
- Wear solid hiking shoes and consider using hiking poles for better stability.
- Be prepared for a steep climb of 600 vertical meters, which can be quite strenuous.

I realized that the funicular is not operational during the winter period. I’m contemplating hiking up and down together with my friend. I think the trail is open all year but just wondering if it is safe to do so in winter? Does the hike gets particularly challenging at some point?

Hi Greatesthit, welcome to MySwissAlps!
If there is no snow on the mountain then it should be doable. Do mind that it’s 600 vertical meters up and of course also down, so that’s quite a walk. It’s steep but forested so no cliffs and drop-offs as far as I know. You do need solid hiking shoes and personally I wouldn’t do it without hiking poles either.
Hi Arno, thanks for the reply!
