    The start of the hike is in Eigenthal. Best at 6 a.m., when it is still night and the moon lights the way. Until Unterlauelen, it is almost flat. A little later it then gradually goes a bit steeper up until you reach the plain of the Alp Trockenmatte. Then it continues over mountain meadows to Alp Hirsboden. A great view of the Pilatus chain is almost guaranteed. Further on until near Rägeflüehli. From there, it often goes relatively steeply downhill. The path in this area is somewhat more demanding. Soon you are then back at the parking lot Gantersei.

    Author’s recommendation

    You experience the most beautiful light and phenomenon of night & dawn in the early hours of the day. In September with a full moon absolutely perfect.
