A leisurely family hike over hill and dale.
For the ascent to the Voralpe Schalb, take the breezy Embd- Schalb adventure cable car. The family-friendly hike begins at Schalb on the high-altitude trail via the Embd Alp Pletschen to Moosalp. Enjoy fauna, flora and a breathtaking panorama. There you can treat yourself to a delicious lunch or a hearty "z'Abund" in one of the two mountain restaurants.
