Stoos – a paradise for family excursions

The steepest funicular railway in the world from Schwyz-Schlattli or the aerial cableway from Morschach take you to the village of Stoos. Countless activities await you and your family in summer as well as in winter. The ultimate peak experience is on the Fronalpstock.

A technical marvel that boasts a world record, the Schwyz-Stoos funicular entered service at the end of 2017. Thanks to the automatic levelling of the cabins, passengers do not notice the steepness of the gradient, which reaches 110% at one point.

The car-free mountain village of Stoos is a particularly good place to unwind. There is no traffic noise or stress – ideal for holidays with children. Stoos caters for long or short stays thanks to the wide range of hotels, holiday apartments and group accommodation in every price category.

A first-class holiday idyll awaits you high above Lake Lucerne: the Fronalpstock offers stunning views of ten lakes and the mountains of Central Switzerland. Pleasures of the palate await at an altitude of 1,922 metres. The highest restaurant in the canton of Schwyz offers regional specialities on its large panoramic terrace or in the rustic dining room. There are countless mountain peaks to admire from the Fronalpstock, not forgetting the Rütli Meadow, the birthplace of Switzerland, which can be seen from across the lake. And to keep you entertained, the area offers a varied range of mountain sports complete with hiking and thematic trails, plus fun things to do at Stoos’ little lake. In winter, the Fronalpstock and Klingenstock offer 35 km of slopes, groomed winter walking and cross-country skiing trails, a freestyle park and runs devoted to sledging and airboarding.
