Brief description

The scenic path leads once around the Fonalpstock summit to reveal views of 10-plus lakes. This is like a real-life panoramic painting-in-the-round of Central Switzerland, as beautiful as only nature can create it. The experience begins with a funicular railway ride to the village of Stoos.

Description

Being virtually level, the circular path could be walked in 30 minutes. But who wants to stomp their way through this wonderful panorama? Too many snow-covered peaks, romantic valleys and blue lakes are waiting to be seen. The powerful nature of the vista must be allowed to gradually flow through the body. The feast for the eyes is followed by a feast for the palate in the summit restaurant. The path is signposted and starts next to the upper terminus of the chairlift, which later returns you to the car-free mountain village of Stoos.
