WanderWunder Schwyz: Riemenstalden Lidernen

In Riemenstalden at the valley station of the Chäppeliberg-Spilau aerial cableway, the hike starts comfortably and follows gently ascending paths and service roads. Shortly before the pass crossing “Höchi” you leave the pass trail and take the steep ascending path, which is also used for cattle drives. On the right and left of the path, wild forest-karst landscapes alternate with open alpine pastures. In the “Tritt” area, the bizarre rock formations of the karst also intersect the meadows.

The path passes under the Schmalstöckli, which rises like a lonely steep tooth in the landscape, and finally reaches the Lidernen Hut. This invites you to linger with its simple, original charm. From the terrace, you enjoy the view of Brunnen and Lake Lucerne. Before the short walk to the mountain station of the Chäppeliberg-Spilau cable car, the gaze also likes to linger on the climbing garden next to the hut.
