This circular trail opens up new views from the Vitznau Alps towards Nidwalden, the Bernese and Uri Alps.

Central Switzerland: panoramic circular trailThis exciting circular hike, off the beaten track, allows you to really enjoy the unspoilt nature.

The flora shows off itself from its most varied side and the mountain peaks seem close enough to touch.

The hike can also be done in the opposite direction.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

I love to buy some spicy alpine cheese from the alp Altstafel during the summer months, which produced directly from the alpine dairyman.
