Good weather forecast for the Jura, so off we go for a snow hike.
We start in Reigoldswil with a bunch of other people who are going to the gondola. Things quiet down a lot once we're past the gondola station. Up we go along the road until we hit the Jägerwegli, then up, up along the nice trail. There's plenty of snow, but the footing is generally good (a few icy patches, but it's not bad). Up, up, past a couple of really cool patches of icicles (including one huge one which A accidentally detaches), up, up until we get to the sun and then the top of the gondola and the masses of people.
Past the gondola and up to the ridge (great views!) then along the path to the Chellenchöpfli. Here there's a good place to sit, so we have some lunch and enjoy the views (good timing on that... 10 minutes after we sit down loads of people start showing up). After a good lunch we continue along the trail, past the Beiz at Waldweid (BUSY!) and then down, down (the parts of the north side where the sun doesn't make it are still very much winter wonderland) until we get to Waldenburg and the train back home.
This was a really nice (though a bit short) winter hike.

Stats: 11.5km, 650m up and down, 3:45
