The two Mythen majestically tower over the town of Schwyz and from the rear side over the Alpthal. With the Holzegg aerial cableway, you can get from Brunni/Alpthal to the starting point: Holzegg at the foot of the Grosse Mythen. Here begins the entry to the Mythen mountain path. Therefore, the place is ideal for a last break (fireplace, Holzegg restaurant). The ascent to the Grosse Mythen is relatively steep and should be approached with good footwear. Caution is advised in wet weather. The slippery stones can be very dangerous. The ascent opens up a wonderful panoramic view. Once on the summit, all efforts are forgotten. A breathtaking panoramic view of the Alpine mountain peaks, the Schwyz valley basin, the Central Swiss lakes and the expanse of the Swiss plateau will leave you amazed. Between April and November, the summit restaurant is open daily in nice weather (when the Swiss flag is hoisted).

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
- After a successful summit ascent and descent - stop at the Skihaus Holzegg with a beautiful sun terrace. 5 minutes from Holzegg towards Rotenflue. A unique experience is the sunrise on the Grosse Mythen.
Safety guidelines
- Narrow, rocky mountain path. Preferably keep to the mountain side. Not recommended for small children. The Mythenweg is exposed but well developed and well secured at the critical points.
