Description
1st stage: Round hike in Melchseefrutt.
2nd stage: From Melchsee-Frutt you hike in around three hours to Äliggalp - the geographical centre of Switzerland. On the way you pass crystal-clear mountain lakes and after the somewhat more strenuous ascent to the Alpgschütz you are rewarded with a magnificent view. From Äligalp you take a car transfer (bookable via Private Selection Hotels & Tours) to the Seehotel Wilerbad in Wilen on Lake Sarnen.
Stage 3: Circular hike from Wilen am Sarnersee to Flüeli-Ranft. The Ranft Gorge with the hermitage and the two Ranft chapels offer you an insight into the life and work of Brother Klaus, Switzerland's only saint. Continue your hike along the Melchaa to Hohe Brücke - the highest covered wooden bridge in Europe. Then hike to the Lourde Grotto and on to Sarnen. From Sarnen, take Postbus No. 345 back to Wilen am Sarnersee.
