Stoos Ridge Hike

The steepest funicular in the world takes you to the car-free mountain village of Stoos. A chairlift takes you to the starting point of the hike - the Klingenstock. Of course, the ascent is also possible on foot. Those who set off in a westerly direction to the Rot Turm and Nollen should be sure-footed and free from vertigo. Far below, Lake Lucerne accompanies the hike over the ridge to the Huserstock. Then it's zigzagging down to the Furggeli on the mountain path hewn into the rock and secured with chains. The last ascent is the steepest, from the alpine hut at Furggeli up to the summit of Fronalpstock. If your heart began to pound a little harder during the uphill hike, at the summit the view of the mountain and lake world takes your breath away. On the terrace of the highest restaurant in the canton, you can relax and let the view continue to take effect. The chairlift takes you back to the mountain village of Stoos. If you still like, you can also hike down.

The hike is classified according to the difficulty level T3 of the SAC scale. For the walk, good hiking equipment, surefootedness, shoes with non-slip soles and good physical condition are strongly recommended. The trail is secured with chains from about the beginning of June (as soon as there is no more snow) until about the beginning of November. As long as there is snow, we advise against this hike for safety reasons.
