Explore exciting witch worlds

At Wirzweli you can discover fascinating witch worlds! There are two special witch paths with barbecue areas where you can experience something at various stations and solve puzzles. From Dallenwil, two cable cars lead up to the Wirzweli area south of Stanserhorn. Once at the top, two paths are available:

The Weather Witch Path is an easy 2-hour hike with an initial ascent that leads after about 150 meters of altitude over meadows and deep forests. The Witch Path starts at the valley station of the 6-person gondola Gummenalp. The gondola takes you directly to the start of the Witch Path at 1559 m above sea level. Enjoy the wonderful view of the Wirzweli holiday village and follow the witch path signs to the entrance gate. Behind this creaking door, the enchanted adventure begins. The hike leads with a slight descent through the mystical forest and over lush meadows to exciting witch stations. If you haven’t had enough after the witch adventure, a 40-minute walk leads you directly to the Wiesenberg cable car at 1004 m above sea level. With the 4-person gondola, you return to Dallenwil.
