The three-kilometer circular route is suitable for connoisseurs, families with children, and alpine flower enthusiasts. 

Along a stretch of about 700 meters, up to 120 different well-known and partly rare plants can be explored and are described on panels. From the Klewenalp mountain station, the path initially follows the wide trail to the mountain chapel (the cross with Christ on the outer entrance facade was created by the well-known sculptor Hans von Matt) and to the well-known mountain restaurant Alpstubli. Here the path branches; to the right it continues on the wide trail to Röthen. Here the alpine flower path branches off again to the right. Still on the wide path, it goes around the Klewenstock and back to the mountain station.

The alpine flower path can also be booked as a guided tour (AlpFlora). Further information is available here.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Three restaurant tips for the outing: it's worth making a little detour to the Hotel Nidwaldnerhof before setting off. The chef recommends the "Rib-eye carpaccio with basil panna cotta" starter. The Bergrestaurant Alpstubli at Klewenalp serves its popular golden-brown-baked mashed potato dish, "Nidwalden Ofetori" , at lunchtimes. After the hike on Klewenalp, we recommend the Berggasthaus KlewenStube 1600, where you can enjoy, for example, pot roast with mashed potatoes. The lakeside terrace of the Restaurant Rössli in Beckenried is the perfect place to end the day. Speciality at the Rössli: "Suirä Mockä".
