An incomparably varied, rather short tour, but with great views.

The Bonistock Tour is incomparable in its diversity. You can smell the scent of the unique Alpine flora, marvel at bizarre rock formations and impressive karst fields - a paradise "not only" for geologists and biologists.

The trail starts at the "old mountain station" in Frutt-Dörfli. The trail leads briefly along the road up to the Hotel frutt Lodge & Spa and changes to the hiking trail behind the imposing building in the direction of Bonistock. The trail up the Bonistock is incomparable in its diversity: you can smell the scent of the unique Alpine flora, marvel at bizarre rock formations and impressive karst fields - a paradise "not only" for geologists and biologists.

Once you reach the Bonistock, you can enjoy the unique panoramic view over central Switzerland as far as the border with Germany and the imposing peaks of the Bernese Alps. Continue along the ridge to Chringen and below the wall back to Frutt-Dörfli.
