- Destination: Stoos-Seeli
The Fronalpweg offers insights into the life of the alpine herders on the Stoos, their traditions and rituals, at eleven stations. Over roots and stones, to well-maintained alpine meadows and fantastic views, the path leads from the Fronalpstock summit down into the Frontal to the Stoos-Seeli.
A wooden ball is the playful companion: from the balance game on the sun island, over the ball tracks, to scenic resting places in nature. Original elements, such as a telescope, milk cans, and the bell puzzle, explain special features like the 'Betruf' and medicinal plants.
Great thanks go to the alpine herders who made the realization of this experience route possible. Thanks to all hikers who stay on the marked path and travel carefully in the sensitive mountain nature.
The hike itself takes about 2 hours plus the individual time spent at the stations. The Fronalpweg is not accessible with strollers. At Alp Laui, there is the option to shorten the Fronalpweg. From here, a hiking trail leads to the middle station of the Fronalpstock chairlift, from where you can comfortably return to the village of Stoos by chairlift.
The Fronalpweg was realized by the Stoosbahnen with the kind support of the company Similasan.
