Zwinglipass Kiddies Trek

Leave the Gamplüt Mountain Restaurant behind and follow the winding path as it slips into the quiet embrace of the Alpstein. Just 800 meters in, you’ll find the perfect excuse to pause—here, the mighty Churfirsten stretch across the horizon, their rugged peaks standing guard over the valley below.

Keep going, and the trail leads you 600 meters further to another hidden delight: the Alp Tesel Valley. It’s a place where green pastures roll away beneath your feet, and the mountains frame the scene like a postcard. Take a moment, breathe it in.

About 3 kilometers from your start, the trail begins to rise with a little more determination. The climb is steady and rewarding, drawing you deeper into the wild folds of the Alpstein. And then, as if from nowhere, the Toblerone Mountain appears—sharp and unmistakable—guiding your steps over the last 2 kilometers. Its jagged silhouette watches over you all the way to the Zwinglipasshütte, where a warm welcome and sweeping views await.

From the Zwinglipasshütte, the trail winds gently across the ridge, where jagged peaks and wide skies greet you right from the start. About a kilometer in, you’ll reach Chreialpfirst, a perfect lookout where the towering Altmann commands the horizon—a striking reminder of the Alpstein’s wild beauty.

The path climbs further to Mutschensattel at 2,070 meters, where the sharp ridges of the Kreuzberge stretch out below. After soaking in the views, the trail dips down into gentler terrain. About 1.5 kilometers later, you’ll step into Roslenalp, a peaceful alpine meadow nestled beneath steep cliffs, sometimes watched over by the mountain rescue team on busy weekends.

The final stretch leads you further downhill, past quiet pastures and rocky outcrops. Soon enough, the Hundsteinhütte appears, perched on a sunny slope. It’s the perfect spot to kick off your boots, enjoy some well-earned rest, and maybe treat yourself to a slice of cake with a view.
