Kärpf Hike - Mettmen to Elm via Wildmad

Starting from Kies, take the cable car up to Mettmen and start the hike on the Mettmen Alp (1608m). A short ascent leads to the Garichtisee.

First, you will walk along the lake shore, where various fire-pits invite you to linger. Then, there is an easy ascent to the Alp Ober Stafel. At about 1926 m above sea level you leave the path to the Leglerhütte and follow the stream and continue to the highest point of the hike, the Wildmadfurggeli. A magnificent panorama opens up to you to the Piz Sardona, Tschingelhörner and many more.

Finally you start the descent: after a short time you will see the Chüebodensee. You follow the alpine path down to the Obere Ämpächli Alp. From here you walk on a beautiful path to Unter Ämpächli. If the visibility is good, you can even catch a glimpse of the famous Martinsloch in the Sardona World Heritage Site opposite.

The Sportbahnen Elm gondola lift finally carries you down to Elm.
