    From the Seebodenalp parking lot, you leisurely hike on a flat and well-maintained path to Alp Ruodisegg. From here you have a wonderful view of the Pilatus and Lake Lucerne. High above the Küssnacht lake basin, you walk along the glacial moraine and learn interesting facts about the last ice age. More info. From Alp Ruodisegg, the path branches off towards Gällen, from where you reach Müseralp. After the short climb to Chänzeli, you will be rewarded with a gigantic view.

    Rustic mountain restaurants invite you to enjoy and linger.

    Notes

    You can find the current operational status of the cable cars and hiking trails here. 

    So that future generations can also enjoy the queen of mountains, we ask you to dispose of your waste at the stations or take it with you. Thank you.
