Schmugglis Sbrinz Path
Schmugglis Adventure World at Trübsee, very popular with families, has gained a new attraction. On the mountain hiking trail from the Hüethütte to the Alp cheese dairy Untertrübsee, a new puzzle trail is being created – Schmugglis Sbrinz Path. On the 1.5-hour hike, visitors become cheese smugglers themselves and must secretly bring their cheese wheel on the right path at various skill, play, and rest stations – without getting caught. Only those who are clever enough and have successfully completed a game station receive a letter and can continue with their smuggled goods. At the very end of the route, all letters together form a solution word that visitors must find out.
To solve the puzzles at the six stations, you need a wooden token. You can buy this for CHF 5 at the ticket office at the Titlis valley station or at the self-service restaurant of the Berghotel Trübsee. You may then take it home as a souvenir.
