Stoos - Fronalpstock
The start at around 1300 m above sea level leads you after a slight climb to the intermediate station of the Fronalpstock chairlift. From there, the path continues along the sledding slope with scenic viewpoints. In clear weather, you can see the Schwyz basin and Lake Lucerne. Arriving at the Fronalpstock, located at 1922 m above sea level, you can treat yourself to refreshments at the Fronalpstock Hotel | Restaurant. From the summit itself, you have a breathtaking view of the heart of Central Switzerland and up to 10 lakes. If you do not want to walk down, take one or both sections of the chairlift down. Tickets are available directly at the chairlift stations.
