The hike with the best view of the Mythen and over the alpine world, lakes.
We start our hike about 100m next to the mountain station of the cable car Morschach-Stoos, where we turn into the Stooswaldstrasse towards Morschach. In the middle of the forest we turn into the hiking trail at the Jochli-Eu junction. Through the shady forest we reach the pasture area of Alp Eu without much effort. Now we start the ascent of the north face of the Fronalpstock via the Bärentros trail. The mountain trail is easy to master, but requires good surefootedness. After passing the big spruces and gnarled pines, we reach the western flatter alpine area of the Fronalpstock. In western direction we continue uphill. At the latest here we realize why the path is called Aussichtsweg. The whole valley basin of Schwyz is at our feet. At Charenstöckli we make a short descent to Chänzeli. This offers us an overview of Morschach. From now on we have only one goal in mind, the Fronalpstock summit.

Here we first enjoy the view of over ten Swiss lakes and countless Alpine peaks. We follow the panoramic path Fronalpstock and thus come to the descent towards Furggeli. From there we descend further into the quiet Frontal and follow the mountain stream until we are back in the mountain village of Stoos. Passing the Stoos-Seeli we reach again our starting point at the cable car.
