To the Furggelenstock

From Brunni near Alpthal, this hike leads up to the Furggelenstock (1,656 m above sea level), a popular viewpoint above the Alp valley. The ascent goes through sparse forest and over lush pastures, past scattered alpine buildings and with constantly changing views of the imposing Grosser Mythen and the Muota valley. Once at the top, a 360-degree panorama opens: to the south you can see as far as the Uri Alps, while to the north the Lake Zurich appears on the horizon. The circular hike can be done in both directions and offers numerous quiet spots along the way for a rest in nature.

The route is especially suitable from May to October when the paths are dry and the alpine flora is in full bloom. In late autumn, the view into the sea of fog often offers particularly atmospheric impressions.
