  • Destination: Talstation Laucheren

The circular hike leads in the Ybrig region from the Bergstation Laucheren via Spirstock and Ibergeregg back to the Talstation Laucheren.

After a comfortable ride on the chairlift up to the Bergstation Laucheren, the hike starts over Fuederegg towards Seeblisee. A short walk around the mountain lake, then take the chairlift up to Spirstock. Once at the top, enjoy a fantastic view over the Ybrig region, the Sihl valley, and down into the Schwyz basin. Then the hike continues from Spirstock on the Ybriger-7-Egg-Weg to the Ibergeregg pass. On this section, the unique mountain panorama impresses again. To finish, the circular hike continues on a pleasant path down to Oberiberg.

The hike is very family-friendly. Although the route fascinates with its unique panorama, the ascent never gets really steep, since you bypass the climbs twice with the chairlift.
