Stage: Stoos - Morschach | Schwyz Valley & Summit Tour

  • Tip
  • 4.95 km long
  • Difficulty: medium
  • Condition: easy
  • Hike
A beautiful hike that takes you after the descent over the northwest flank of the Fronalpstock along a lovely high-altitude path past the Lourdes Grotto into the village of Morschach. There, the region's largest leisure park, the Swiss Holiday Park, offers countless opportunities for both action and relaxation.

You can reach Morschach from Stoos quickly and easily by aerial cableway and a short half-hour walk. Or you prefer a beautiful downhill hike over a gravel path and through the mixed forests on the northwest flank of the Fronalpstock. Almost at the bottom, you decide at the signpost for a short detour to the country restaurant Nägelisgärtli or continue on the Panorama Trail Morschach. This leads you via Lourdes Grotto right into the village of Morschach.
