The view of over 200 mountain peaks from Titlis to Moléson accompanies hikers on the first metres of the descent via the Stockenfeld towards Oberstockenalp. On a lucky day chamois can be seen balancing confidently on narrow fences. On this hike there are some stations of the adventure path «Habitats on the Stockhorn». Information and documentation materials about this is available free of charge at the valley station of Stockhornbahn railway, free-of-charge. After a hike of around 45 mins across lush alpine pastures you reach the Obserstockenalp guest house. This is ideal for a first break.
Here the landscape changes. Through a light fir forest, the route passes by the enchanted fields of Karstfeld to the Hinterstockenalp. There the idyllic Hinterstickensee lake provides a stop for the second break. Here you can see sports fishermen trying to catch a rainbow trout from the mountain lake. After a short climb you reach the Chrindi middle station.
