Schwyz: Hike with great views

Pleasant high-altitude hike with many opportunities to stop for refreshments from Rotenflue via Ibergeregg to Illgau.

Start your excursion with a gondola ride from Rickenbach to the Rotenflue. Once you arrive at the mountain station, hike along a well-maintained hiking trail - always with a unique view of the Schwyz, Uri and Muotatal Alps as well as Lake Lucerne - to the Ibergeregg pass and on to the St. Karl mountain station above Illgau. Finally, enjoy the cable car once more to the idyllic mountain village of Illgau and finally to Ried-Muotathal. Return to the starting point in Schwyz or Rickenbach by bus operated by Auto AG Schwyz.
