In alpine hay meadows like those on Tschinglen, you can find a great variety of species. If you look more closely, you can discover more than 70 different flower species and grasses in just a few square meters. And on beautiful summer days, over 30 different species of butterflies fly from flower to flower.
The flower trail leads as a circular route of about one kilometer from the mountain station of the cable car across the flowery meadows on hiking paths. The route is marked with small symbols. On the detour to the Tschinglenbach stream, you will also encounter some wet areas. On site, the Tschinglenwirtschaft invites you to enjoy food and drinks.
The path is easy to walk with children but not suitable for strollers.
Enjoy the splendor on site: please refrain from picking flowers and stay on the paths.
Author’s recommendation
From about mid-June to the end of July, the flower diversity is greatest on Tschinglen.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
