The Unterbäch–Brandalp chairlift brings you to the starting point of the popular route. Follow the Meigger and the Old Suon through the winter forest and recharge your energies in the tranquility of nature for everyday life. Enjoy the panoramic view of the magnificent mountain landscape with the majestic Bietschhorn before or after the route on the Brandalp and let yourself be pampered culinarily in the Alpenrösli mountain restaurant.

Author’s recommendation

For the return trip to the village, use a Brandalp-Blitz. This is a sleek winter sports device that resembles a milking stool.
