The fantastic mountain world around the mighty Titlis, the unique flora, the deep blue mountain lakes, and the breathtaking views of the Central Swiss Alps are just some of the highlights of this hike.

The starting point for the Four Lakes Hike is the mountain station Melchsee-Frutt. Initially, the path leads to the Melchsee, the sparkling natural reservoir, where fishing is becoming increasingly popular. At its edge, the small beautiful chapel, often booked for weddings, beckons. The hiking trail leads directly over Müllerenhütte to the Tannensee.
