Scenic, easy hike from Fräkmüntegg (1,416 m) via Lauelenegg and Höchberg (1,198 m) to Eigenthalerhof with panoramic views and dining option.

From Fräkmüntegg station (1,416 m), the trail initially climbs gently uphill, past the toboggan run Fräkigaudi  to Fräkmüntegg itself – at 1,442 metres, the highest point of the hike – and on to Lauelenegg. Shortly after the turnoff to the north, the trail descends through the forest to a mysterious place, possibly a place of power. With renewed energy, you follow the path over the wooded ridge and reach Höchberg (1,198 m). You then descend around 100 metres to Chräigütsch (1,081 m). From here, it is about 20 minutes to the Eigenthalerhof post bus stop.
