Introdução

Kilometres of rolling trail unfold from Melchsee-Frutt in a tour that hovers around 2,000 metres for the majority of the circuit. The high vantage points afford views of the surrounding summits and glaciers, while cowbells jangle in the green pastures below.

Descrição

Located almost exactly in the centre of Switzerland, this run starts from the family-friendly resort of Melchsee-Frutt in Obwalden. The village and its lake sit at 1,891 metres on a grassy plateau ringed by higher peaks. It’s popular for hiking in the summer months and known for skiing in winter.

Starting from Melchsee-Frutt, a short climb brings you to Bonistock and along its ridge trail, before dropping from Chringen to Tannalp. From the far end of Tannensee, always choose the high path on the upward push towards Erzegg station. Turning off the traverse just as you reach Planplatten station, enjoy a speedy descent to grassy Hääggen. The alp offers self-serve drinks of beer, soda, cider and milk, all kept cool in the trough. It’s a refreshing stop with friendly chickens, pigs and cows before one last big climb through Hohsträss towards Hochstollen. A ten-minute detour from the main loop takes you up to Hochstollen (2,481 metres). From the summit, it’s time to start the descent back to Melchsee-Frutt.

As you savour the views from Hochstollen of Melchsee-Frutt and its lakes and watch the sunset, you can lose all track of time. Now for the race down, bounding over the rocky trail in a hurry so as not to miss the alternating uphill/downhill road opening times between Melchsee-Frutt and Stökalp. Don’t worry, the last few kilometres go quicker than you think.

Tip from ALPSinsight: From Stökalp you can reach Melchsee-Frutt by cable car or car. The road caters to uphill traffic during even hours and downhill traffic during odd hours.
