Special ticket “Schächental mountain trail”
4 cable cars - 1 trail
The Eggberge cable car (mountain station at 1,445m) is an easily accessible starting point for a day hike. The valley station of the Eggberge cable car is conveniently located close to Flüelen main station and can thus be easily reached by public transport.
After a short while, you reach Fleschsee (or Flesch Lake) – an ideal place for an early lunch break with well-built fireplaces. A little further onwards, you arrive at Ruogig mountain station (1,730m). Of course, you can also continue your hike for another 30 minutes to Biel (1,720m), and from there along the sun terrace towards Klausen Pass. The Ratzi cable car (1,520m) is your last option to descend before you get to Klausen Pass (1,948m).
The Schächental mountain trail offers suitable routes for all hikers, regardless of their fitness level. At the mountain cable car stations and along the trail, cosy mountain restaurants invite you to take a break and enjoy their large sun terraces.
The special ticket includes the following transport services:
- Postbus route Flüelen–Klausen Pass
