Directions

At the beginning, a leisurely hike along the wild Muota to Schlattli at the valley station of the Schwyz-Stoos funicular railway. The steepest funicular railway in the world takes you spectacularly up into the car-free mountain village of Stoos. The subsequent ridge hike from Klingenstock to Fronalpstock is a scenic classic and impresses with a distinctive panorama of the turquoise Lake Lucerne and ten other Swiss lakes. The path continues from the Schwyzerhöhe to Brunnen, ending the hike idyllically.
