Hiking holidays Schwyzer Tal- & Gipfeltour "Königsroute" TO
Hiking: Schwyzer Tal- & Gipfeltour
The Great Mythen, the Rigi and the deep blue Lake of Uri form a mountain panorama that is unrivalled worldwide.
Arrival in Lucerne
On the Schwyzer Höhenweg you will conquer the Gnipen and Wildspitz. These two peaks are less well-known than the Rigi, but no less scenic. On your hike you ill be rewarded with wonderful views of the Schwyz mountain and lake landscape. If you take it easy, shorten the tour from Sattel-Ägeri by taking the cable car up to Mostelberg.
You have already reached the required height. The Schwyzer Höhenweg leads you on comfortable paths past the two striking myths. By the time you arrive at Holzegg, most of the mountain climbers have already left the Mythenweg. Head for the summit in the late afternoon and enjoy the sunset on the way back to Holzegg.
Holzegg – Muotatal
Enjoy great panoramic views as you hike via Rotenflue to Illgau. The Fallenflue view is breathtaking. Via cable car from Illgau to Ried and bus to Muotathal.
Muotatal – Stoos
The path leads you out of the Muotathal up to the Wannentritt. Quiet paths lead you over the most beautiful alpine landscapes to the mountain resort of Stoos.
A chairlift takes you up to the Klingenstock. This is where one of the most beautiful panoramic hikes in Switzerland starts. The views of the nearby Lake of Uri are impressive, the ridge hike itself is very busy and leads to the Fronalpstock on well-maintained paths.
At the top, you will have a phenomenal view of 12 different lakes and take the chair lift down to Stoos. A hike down to the valley through cool forests via Morschach leads you to the shores of the Vierwaldstättersee.
A short hike at the lake basin and ride with the cable car up to the Urmiberg. The paths on the Rigi are easy to walk and have a great view. The panoramic stage leads you first to the Hochflue and then past the mountain inn Burggeist and Rigi Klösterli to Kaltbad. A fantastic panorama over Lake Lucerne to Mount Pilatus awaits you.
The conclusion could not be more promising. On the queen of the mountains - the Rigi - and on the steep descent to Goldau you will once again enjoy the finest panoramic views.
