Hoch-Ybrig
Introdução
Próximo à capital do cantão, Schwyz, e a Einsiedeln, local de peregrinações, numa paisagem de amplos e idílicos contrafortes alpinos, entre 900 e 2.200 metros, encontram-se Hoch-Ybrig, destino de férias e esportes, e as vilas ensolaradas de Oberberg e Unteriberg.
Hoch-Ybrig - Ybrig is the local dialect form of Iberg – the village is dominated by the peaks of the Drusberg, Forstberg and Twäriberg. This chain of mountains forms a ridge separating the area from the Muotatal and the Glarnerland region. A cable-car leads from Weglosen in the valley of the Waag, which can be reached from Unteriberg by car, to Seebli (1460 m) at the foot of the Roggenstock. From Seebli chair-lifts continue on up to the Hoch-Ybrig top stations of Spirstock (1771 m) and Sternen (1856 m).
The mountain pass over the Ibergeregg links Ybrig with the canton capital Schwyz. To the south, high above the Muotatal, there is also the quiet little village of Illgau.
