After following the gravel path for about 10 minutes, you pass the mountain farm Glattalp. Past the signpost towards \"Seeloch\" the gravel path leads after about fifteen minutes of walking to a side basin of Glattalpsee. Along the shore the trail is marked red and white.

WanderWunder Schwyz: Around the Glattalpsee
===========================================

- Tip
- 13.34 km long
- Round trip
- Difficulty: medium
- Condition: medium
- Great panorama
- Hike

Beautiful short hike in the canton of Schwyz from the Glattalphütte (1,896 m) around the Glattalpsee in the midst of the impressive mountains of the Schwyzer Alps. The Glattalpsee offers a welcome refreshment on hot days for brave hikers.

The route starts at the alpine farm Sahli. Either take the Luftseilbahn Sahli-Glattalp up or hike via Läcki, a pasture with a salt lick for livestock, past the Chneu, a hill resembling a knee. Continue over Mütschen to the junction of the SAC Glattalphütte.

From the Glattalphütte follow the hiking signposts towards Glattalpsee. After following the gravel path for about 10 minutes, you pass the mountain farm Glattalp. Past the signpost towards "Seeloch" the gravel path leads after about fifteen minutes of walking to a side basin of Glattalpsee. Along the shore the trail is marked red and white. Always following the not always well recognizable path around the lake, you eventually reach the starting path at Seeloch and back to the mountain station of the cable car.
