The hike to Alp Schilteli starts at the tourism square in the village center of Morschach. A small part of the route runs along the "Weg der Schweiz" and then turns east towards Degenbalm. Uphill and through the forest, you reach the Hetzig farmstead. From this platform, you can easily overlook the entire village of Morschach. The path then follows the natural road through a forest to the Alp Schilteli junction. The mountain path to the destination leads you through shady forest and along the Lauitobel. In the upper part of the trail, comfortable wooden steps have been built, and on the valley side, for safety reasons, a sturdy fence is everywhere. At Alp Schilteli, a magnificent panorama opens up. From the Schwyz basin to the Uri Alps, everything lies before you, you can even spot Seelisberg with the small lake. The return leads downwards on the natural road through the Schilteli forest. Those who remain quiet may have the chance to spot some wildlife here. To avoid returning on the same path to Morschach, leave the road towards the west and hike over the Schilti farmstead, practically towards Lake Lucerne. When you reach the road, take the path towards Morschach. You will then be back on the "Weg der Schweiz" which leads to the village. Near the destination, you will also pass idyllic farmsteads and two chapels inviting you to a little peace.
