Walking along the ridge line from Klingenstock to Fronalpstock is one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring walks I have completed; the scenery here dwarfs that of the Lake District, and most places you're able to walk in the UK. Riding the fernicular at 110% is also an incredible experience - what a superb feat of engineering. From there, we took the chairlift to Klingenstock and then began our walk along the ridge line. You can walk the other way but this way is arguably the more challenging and more rewarding - the view before us was much better than that behind us. It's a truly breathtaking and wonderful view but it does come with a hefty price tag - the fernicular and access to the chair lifts aren't cheap. Take your own lunch to save some pennies!

We visit this park every season. Of course, it is perfect in summer, but our visits were also great in autumn and winter. Great for small kids (2 years and younger). Children can touch and feed animals. Many nice places for picknick and rest in fresh air. Access to bathrooms and drinking water in various spots of the park. In hot summer kids can have fun and enjoy playing with water (there is a special fountain, bring a swimming suit and a towel for your kid). Be prepared to spend min 2-3 hours walking. You will need very comfortable walking shoes which may become dirty (this is a forest) and comfy outfit for you and your kids.

Great place to buy Swiss Knifes or even have one custom made. The museum was interesting while we waited on our knifes.

Very nice place for skiing or having some fun on the sledge. It is a short distance from Zürich for some fun in the snow. Parking available.

The Forum of Swiss History Schwyz is one of the most important museums of cultural history in the Alpine region. It is a modern historical museum where culture and history come together offering visitors a special experience. The permanent exhibition by the title of "Switzerland in the Making. Through the 12th to the 14th Century" focuses on the foundation and early development of the Old Swiss Confederacy in the Middle Ages. Designed as an adventure tour to address our senses, the exhibition appeals to children and adults alike. The extraordinary scenography over all three floors makes a visit to the museum an event to remember.

For me, the barrel-shaped carriage is the highlight but not the steepness. The design of these bright yellow carriages is so cool. They look like a caterpillar or a multi-cylinder whistle but certainly not like a funicular. The carriages rotate to maintain a level floor surface for passengers. So I didn’t feel the inclination at all inside the carriage. We took this caterpillar-like funicular to Stoos where we changed to take a ski lift reaching Klingenstock. From there we started the hike for two hours along the mountain range to reach Fronalstock. The scenery en route was beautiful. On the left is Lake Lucerne and on the right is Grosser Mythen (1898m) and Kleiner Mythen (1810m). The countless colourful wild flowers along the track further made the hike relaxing and enjoyable.

I went on a friday afternoon to hoch ybrig to ride the known Sternsauser zipline. When arriving in the valley aerial cable car station it was like I was the only one there. Had a huge gondola for myself alone on the way up. Next I took the chairlift to the starting point of the zipline. At 13:30 the operators arrived and opened the attraction, then they gave the instructions how to ride. There was no waiting in line, even though the weather was perfect. They are very friendly and seem enjoying their job (before somebody rides it, the operator rides down to the finish to await the rider. If you got a backpack you can put it on one of the hooks on the chairlift to transport it down. The zipline goes over a large treeless field, which is in winter a ski slope, then over a forest before the middle section. For me it was worth the 70chfr to ride the zipline, it is just awesome. It is great for people who want a good thrill at a quiet and calm place without mass tourism in summer. The Resort Hoch Ybrig is more known for snow sports.
