Fog-free winter fun – this, at least, is how Stoos likes to sell itself. Its geographical location high above the Muota valley certainly makes for plenty of sunshine and there is a convenient – if slightly hair-raising – cable car on hand to whisk you out of the foggy lowlands and up to the winter arena of Stoos. Once there, you should take a minute to savour the fantastic panoramic views. The hike itself will take you in a huge arc round the village of Stoos and past a pretty little wayside chapel. The highlight is likely to be the trip up the Fronalpstock, however, as the views from the summit are superb.

From the Stoosbahn mountain station, follow the signs to the Fronalpstockbahn. After passing Stoos Chapel, you will find yourself at the valley station of the two-section chairlift with which you can ride up to the top of Fronalpstock. There, after a 30-minute tour of the summit, simply take the chair lift (or a toboggan) back down to Stoos. From the valley station, the trail continues on through the village before returning to the starting point of the tour.
