Winter hiking tour from Klosterdorf to the High Moor

Einsiedeln

Einsiedeln is inextricably linked with its huge monastery complex. Even the imposing structures of two ski jumps at the entrance to the village do not detract from the historic ambience. Located adjacent to St. Jacob’s Path, the monastery is one of Switzerland’s most important pilgrimage sites.
