Ridge hike between Klingenstock and Fronalpstock

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The ridge hike is easy and can also be done with children. There are a few exposed sections, but they are mostly secured with chains and railings. The view is simply fantastic.

July 9, 2024,SUIZA. Klingenstock

We start the route at Stoosbahn in Schwyz where we take a rack train to Stoos SZ
There is what they say is the steepest funicular in the world; a marvel.
Already in Stoos SZ we have several ways to do the route.
The most famous thing is to go up to Klingenstock by chairlift from Stoos SZ, and walk …

November 14, 2025,Stoos Gratwanderung - Klingenstock – Blick auf den Vierwaldstättersee

One of the most beautiful hikes I've done in Switzerland.

Breathtaking.

My heart was beating faster than usual during the ridge walk, but this had nothing to do with the exertion; it was simply the beauty of this wonderful natural landscape.

A scenic ridge hike from the Fronalpstock to the Klingenstock with impressive views of Lake Lucerne, Lake Uri, Rigi, Pilatus, Urirotstock, and Mythen.

The ascent to the Fronalpstock is by cable car from Stoos (CHF 23, GA travel pass not valid) or on foot along a well-maintained trail.

The ridge path is technically easy, well-marked, and snow-free.
