The circular hike, which can be walked on both sides, starts at Rothenthurm railway station and leads approximately in the middle to Rothenthurm's local mountain Nüsellstock. The two ends are marked by the Katzenstrick on the footpath to Einsiedeln and, on the other side, the Hochstuckli on Sattler municipal territory. The mostly lonely hiking trail winds its way through forests and unspoilt nature, occasionally also through the Rothenthurm high moor.
Walkable in stages
The entire Thorthour covers 28 kilometres and around 1400 metres in altitude. It takes eight to nine hours without breaks - and is thus a real challenge for both hiking fans and experienced trail runners. An exit or descent to Rothenthurm, Sattel, Alpthal, Trachslau or Einsiedeln is possible at almost any time. If you prefer a more leisurely pace, you can easily divide the hike into stages.
Enough drinks and picnic
Only the right catering makes the Thorthour an unforgettable experience. Enjoy our specially prepared Kronenmetzg power pack as a picnic on the way.
