Wonderful hike from Melchsee, around the Tannsee and back.
We treat ourselves to the starting coffee at the Bistro Stöckalp. Then we take the gondola to Melchsee-Frutt. The beautiful panorama from Glogghüs and Bonistock, up to the Titlis, accompanies us on the way to Tannalp. We walk below the Bonistock towards Tannalp. Past Melchsee and Tannensee. At the mountain guesthouse Tannalp, in the middle of a lovely alpine meadow, we will have lunch together. The restaurant offers a selection of hearty dishes with local specialties. After the well-deserved refreshment, we walk on the other side of the Tannensee back towards Melchsee-Frutt. Up to Distelboden, where we take the shuttle lift to Bonistock. Once at the top, we can enjoy a drink, but above all the fantastic view. Together we then go back to Distelboden where we tackle the last stretch to the mountain station Melchsee-Frutt. After the gondola ride to Stöckalp, the joint hiking day ends.
