The Hochstuckli-Gipfelgenuss hike begins in Sattel-Hochstuckli (Mostelberg), at the mountain station of the Stuckli Rondo revolving gondola. Once at the top, it is worth taking a short detour to the 374-metre-long "Skywalk" suspension bridge. After exploring the suspension bridge, we start the hike at the mountain station of the revolving gondola lift. The path leads comfortably via the Herrenboden mountain inn to Bannegg. From there, the climb up to Hochstuckli at 1566 m is worthwhile. Here you will be rewarded with a panoramic view. The Schwyz basin with Lake Lauerz and Lake Lucerne as well as the two Mythen, the Fronalpstock and the Rigi are within reach.
After the detour to the Hochstuckli, the trail leads you about 10 back in the direction of Bannegg to the turnoff to the hiking trail towards Haggenegg. From now on you have an impressive view of the Haggenspitz and the Kleinen Mythen. At Haggenegg, the Haggenegg Chapel awaits you, a gem of a special kind and also a wonderful photo motif. After Haggenegg, the section along the two Mythen begins, where chamois are most frequently encountered. The trail leads through beautiful nature and flowers via Alp Zwüschet Mythen to Holzegg. With a bit of luck you might spot a family of marmots here. From Holzegg, a final ascent to the Rotenflue awaits you before the Rotenflue cable car takes you back to the valley. From the valley station in Rickenbach SZ, you can take the bus back to your starting point.
The trail is around eleven kilometres long and is also perfectly suitable for children. Due to the many attractions along the way, the panoramic hike can also be easily extended to a day trip.
