Einsiedeln

The town of Einsiedeln is closely associated with the world-famous monastery. The colossal edifice dominates the townscape. Einsiedeln¿s surroundings are defined by a pre-alpine hilly region, which lends itself to long hikes. Winter wraps the forests and meadows into a magical white robe. A plethora of winter hikes and cross-country skiing trails beckon the visitor during the colder months. The hike through Alptal up to Trachslau and back is one of the most popular tours. Enjoy yourself, is the motto here.
