High path Chilcherbergen-Golzern
================================

- Tip
- 5.20 km long
- Difficulty: easy
- Condition: very easy
- Great panorama
- Hike

On the Chilcherbergen we first enjoy the view down into the Reuss valley. From the aerial cableway we watch the traffic on the A2 while distancing ourselves more and more from the hustle and bustle. At first, we are surprised by the flowery mountain meadows on the Chilcherbergen. The newly renovated path leads through cozy forest sections with gentle ups and downs towards the destination Golzeren. Hikers are sure to experience a very varied mountain hike with an impressive deep view into the Reuss valley and a magnificent view into the Maderanertal.

The route starts in Silenen. Here we find many old houses that date back to the time of the mule drivers across the Gotthard. With the aerial cableway, we slowly escape the hectic world on the north-south axis. We enter another world. Here we are surrounded by natural flower meadows.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Since we are already at Golzern, a detour to Golzernsee is worthwhile. It invites you to swim. After cooling off, we can refresh ourselves in one of the alpine inns and enjoy a hearty snack before gondolaing back towards the valley.
