Valley hike from the Wiriehorn down to the Riedli valley station
Legs of the hike: Berghotel Wiriehorn–Röschtenschwend–Entschwil-Riedli valley station
This valley hike starts with a comfortable ascent by chairlift to the Wiriehorn mountain station.
A unique panoramic view awaits you at the Wiriehorn mountain hotel. Alongside traditional dishes, there are special rotating set menus featuring regional products. If you bring your own food, you can enjoy it at the picnic restaurant.
From there, the hiking route takes you across Alp Röschtenschwend to Entschwil, with an alternating mix of forest and mountain roads. You will also enjoy an impressive view of the lower Diemtig Valley.
Two pleasant family barbecue sites are ready to welcome you along the hiking route. One is in Röschtenschwend and the other is in Entschwil, with grills and seating.
The Restaurant Riedli is located next to the valley station for the Wiriehorn chairlift and offers hearty Diemtig valley fare. Highlights of this valley hike include the view over the front of the Diemtig valley and enjoying a chat around the fire at one of the two barbecue areas.
