Schwyzer Höhenweg

Stage 1, Küssnacht a.R.–Rigi: Seebodenalp is one of the most beautiful viewing terraces in the Swiss foothills of the Alps. It can be enjoyed in peace, as it is not too far to Rigi Staffel. From the Staffel to the Kulm you are in good company with the train guests.

Stage 2, Rigi–Goldau: Down between the Rigi Kulm and the ridge that leads to Rigi Scheidegg. In view of the Gnipen with the demolition site of the Goldau landslide of 1806. There is enough time in Goldau to take a detour to the zoo.

Stage 3, Goldau–Sattel: The landslide area is still impressive today, with its masses of rubble and stone blocks as well as the special vegetation that is reclaiming the space. On the Wildspitz, the highest mountain in the canton of Zug, you have a beautiful view of the lakes of central Switzerland.

Stage 4, Sattel–Haggenegg: After a demanding climb, the Hochstuckli is worth a short detour. Panoramic view of the Mythen and Schwyzerland. Then there is a gentle descent to Haggenegg, where the Schwyzer Höhenweg intersects with the Way of St. James.

Stage 5, Haggenegg–Einsiedeln: A tour under the spell of myths that are avoided on the “back side”. From Furggelenstock, the Grosse Mythen looks deceptively similar to the Matterhorn. Einsiedeln lives from the monastery church that towers over everything and the well-preserved village center.
