Description

The path mainly leads through a typical mountain forest. In between, the Matterhorn and the green hump of the Schafberg can be seen, where the gondolas of the Matterhorn Express float in the height. Gnarled Swiss stone pines and larches standing straight like candles in the sky emit a pleasant scent in the sun's warmth. When the wind blows, the rustling of Swiss stone pine and larch needles fills the surroundings.

Those seeking relaxation and wishing to let their thoughts wander may partake here in the pure air of the mountain light, the scent of forest floor and resin, and the whispering of the trees.

  • Wildlife protection area: You might see deer.

  • Observe nutcrackers (nuthatches)
