Erzegg circular route

The "old mountain station" Melchsee-Frutt is the starting point for this wonderful circular route. The path leads along the deep blue Melchsee to Distelboden and further to the Balmeregg ski lift. Here begins the ascent to Balmeregghorn. The strenuous approximately three hundred meters of altitude gain is rewarded by the mountain panorama and the magnificent view. The hike along the ridge to Erzegg with views of the Gental and the picturesque Engstlenalp will surely be an unforgettable experience. From there, it continues towards the Erzegg cross down to the Tannensee. As the name "Erzegg" suggests, ore mining used to take place here. The path then leads over the Tannendamm and further onto the hiking trail below Bonifelsen to Strandguet. From here, it is worth using the panoramic lift to enjoy the view from the platform forty meters above the Melchsee.
