Description
The Fronalp Trail offers insights into the life of the alpine herdsmen on Stoos, their traditions and rituals at nine stations. The trail leads over hill and dale, to well-tended alpine meadows and fantastic views from the Fronalpstock summit down into the Frontal valley to Stoos-Seeli.
A wooden ball is the playful companion: from the balancing game on the sunny island to the ball tracks and scenic resting places in nature. Original elements, such as a telescope, milk cans and the bell puzzle, explain special features such as the call to prayer and medicinal plants.
Many thanks to the Alpine farmers who made this adventure trail possible. Thanks to all hikers who stay on the marked trail and are mindful of the sensitive mountain nature.
The hike itself takes approx. 2 hours plus individual stops at the stations. The Fronalpweg is not suitable for baby carriages. It is possible to shorten the Fronalpweg at Alp Laui. From here, a hiking trail leads to the middle station of the Fronalpstock chairlift, from where you can easily take the chairlift back to the village of Stoos.
The Fronalpweg was created by Stoosbahnen with the kind support of the Similasan company.
