The route to our high plateau for all those who prefer walking to floating.

The trail starts directly at the Stöckalp valley station. Pass the discOWer rope park on the hiking trail along the Cheselenbach stream to the Erzhaus (middle station of the Cheselen chairlift) at Obere Stöck. Here the hike leads a short distance along the asphalt road to the signpost on the right. From here you can enjoy the wonderful hiking trail, which takes you zigzagging through the high alpine forest below the Cheselenflue to the Ziflucht and on to the Aabach crossing. Here you meet the mountain road and turn right onto the hiking trail towards Aastafel. Cross the road at Alp Aastafel and climb the last section uphill to the Dempfelsmatt parking lot. Now cross the parking lot and walk up to Frutt-Dörfli - you have reached your destination.

It will take you around 1h 45 min. to walk downhill.
