Hike Description :
A route through the Alpthal with the ascent of Gross Mythen, reaching nearly 2,000 m via a steep but well-secured trail with switchbacks—perfectly earning a legendary walnut or almond croissant at the summit. Unforgettable moments include crafting your own personalized Swiss Army knife in Brunnen. Witness incredible geology, with the reddish cap of Gross Mythen standing out against the pale gray limestone cliffs, visible from afar. Above all, enjoy an almost complete panorama over the Muotatal Valley and the Schwyz basin.
