Stoos at a glance

This is Stoos

Stoos can be found in Central Switzerland. This car-free mountain village is a popular destination for both hiking and winter sports.

Discover Stoos

The journey up to Stoos is an extraordinary experience in itself: From Schwyz-Schlattli, you’ll take the Stoosbahn, the steepest funicular railway in the world. An alternative way to get there would be from Morschach via the Morschach-Stoos cable car. After having arrived in Stoos, you can take the chairlift to the starting points for various hikes. No matter whether it’s the famous Klingenstock–Fronalpstock ridge hike or a more leisurely stroll to the Stoossee lake: the Stoos is a place that will get you to reflect on the beauty of Swiss nature.

Klingenstock–Fronalpstock ridge hike

The Klingenstock–Fronalpstock ridge hike is one of the most spectacular panoramic hikes in Switzerland. The Klingenstock is your starting point, and you can get there from Stoos by chairlift. If you hike in a westerly direction via Rot Turm to Nollen, you will need to be sure-footed and not afraid of heights. The path is narrow, and certain sections have chains for safety. Your constant companion: fantastic 360-degree panoramic views. Once at your destination, the viewing platform, you will find your gaze wandering over Lake Lucerne to the Grosser and Kleiner Mythen mountains as well as Rigi and Pilatus.

Stoos: a summer and winter paradise

Car-free Stoos is a recreation area in both summer and winter, with a wide range of outdoor activities for visitors to look forward to. In addition to hikes of various levels of difficulty, you can also go mountain biking or paragliding in the summer. In the winter, 35 kilometres of slopes are available for skiing or snowboarding, and there are also toboggan runs and winter hiking trails.

Around Stoos

By taking the Morschach-Stoos cable car, you will be able to reach the Swiss Holiday Park in Morschach, an adventure park for visitors of all ages. Close to Stoos is the Muotatal Valley, which includes the famous Hölloch caves, known as one of the largest cave systems in the world. The Rigi, Lucerne and Lake Lucerne are not too far for an excursion. The small town of Schwyz is just as close as the Goldau Nature Reserve and Wildlife Park.

Experience Stoos for less

By staying in Stoos and the surrounding area for even just one night, you will be able to take advantage of the Schwyz Guest Card. This will give you discounts on mountain railways as well as many activities. With the Junior Card, children travel free of charge on all trains in the Stoos area during the summer.
