Hike

The high-altitude route between Sternen – Spirstock is well developed and a delight for young and old.

From the Seebli in Hoch-Ybrig, take the Sternen chairlift to Klein Sternen. The breathtaking panoramic view of the impressive Schwyz, Uri, and Glarus mountains lets everyday life fade into the distance.
The hiking trail to Wildä Maa runs along a well-developed path near the ridge.
After descending to Nühüttli, a small challenge follows for the ascent to Spirstock. The first part of the ascent has many steps.
The view from Spirstock of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains is magnificent.
The return can be comfortably done with the Spirstock chairlift or on foot back to the starting point.
