Mount Rotenflue – Schwyz’s mountain with a view!

Welcome to Mount Rotenflue, which is easy to reach and lies beside the Grosser Mythen mountain. It offers 360-degree panoramic views and has a restaurant on its summit.

This mountain situated beside the Grosser Mythen mountain and offering fantastic views can be reached easily all year round and promises wonderful outdoor adventures without having to venture far from town.
