Mythen round trip

Magnificent panoramic tour of the Mythen realm

Get a look up close at the two Mythen sisters on this beautiful hike. The gondola takes you up to the start and down again from the finish. This makes the scenic hike easy enough for families with children. Enjoy the wonderful views of the Alptal, the Schwyz Basin and, of course, the Mythen twin peaks. Choose one of several mountain restaurants along the way for a refreshing break.

The hike lasts about 3.5 hours, and all tracks are easy to walk on.

Respectful behavior in the alpine area. Please read and follow the rules here.

Mythenbann - a protected area full of life

A large part of the Mythen round trip leads through the so-called “Mythenbann” - the oldest hunting ban area in Switzerland, which was placed under protection as early as 1492. This special natural area is home to numerous wild animals such as chamois, deer, stags, eagles and marmots. With a bit of luck, you may come across one of these shy inhabitants along the way.

Important: The Mythen area is strictly protected. Therefore, please stay exclusively on the marked hiking trails - for the sake of nature and the animals.
