Hörnli Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Hörnlihütte serves freshly cooked and baked food daily. It has super friendly staff and a fantastic view, not only from the terrace but also a panoramic view directly from the toilet towards Lenzerheide. The ascent up to the Hörnlihütte is quite demanding and the last section demands everything again. But if the visibility is clear, you will be rewarded with a wonderful view.

High Trail at Älplisee

Highlight • Trail

The path below Lake Älplisee is very varied. At times it's steep in sections secured by steel cables, at others it's very idyllic, directly beside the mountain stream.

Schwellisee

Highlight • Lake

15.9 km

Schwellisee

Highlight • Lake

Colorful flower meadows, steep mountain peaks, and a crystal-clear lake at its heart – that's Lake Schwellisee. In the pristine mountain landscape surrounding the lake, you'll find interesting themed trails, such as the Squirrel Trail, the Ten Lakes Fun, and the Learning Trail. But even if you just hike to the lake and spend a while enjoying the view from the shore, a day of hiking is already perfect.
