    Important information!
    Due to unexpected wear and tear (technical fault), the cable car to Allmenalp will remain out of service until around mid-September. The cable car service has been suspended; transport is not available!

    All hiking trails in the Allmenalp area and the paragliding launch site are open as usual.

    You can find the latest information on the Allmenbeizli (restaurant) here: https://allmen-alp.ch/

    Thank you for your understanding.

    From the mountain station of the Allmenalp cable car, you walk over the alpine pasture, from where there is a beautiful view of the Blüemlisalp massif. The somewhat steep mountain path leads to the summit of the First. Now enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Oeschinen.
    Descent via Stand, Golitschepass, and to Alp Golitsche. At the top, the path leads through rock, then follows a narrow trail downward. This descent is only suitable for experienced and sure-footed hikers.
