Sattel: Skywalk, Trails and Morgarten Trail

If you are looking for a hotel in Sattel, you can start by thinking about which experiences you want to shape your stay. Views and circular trails, rides, winter ski slopes or the history of Morgarten offer different focal points. You can also factor your journey into your plans: bus stops, the railway station and a train connection from Biberegg provide practical guidance for getting to Sattel.

Views and trails on Mostelberg

The «Skywalk» pedestrian suspension bridge is 374 metres long and rises up to 58 metres above the Lauitobel. The bridge offers views of the Ägerital valley and the diverse mountain landscape. If taking in the scenery is the main focus of your outing, the Skywalk is a clearly defined destination.

A rotating gondola takes visitors from Sattel-Hochstuckli to Mostelberg. The 5.4-kilometre «RUNDweg Engelstock» circular trail starts and ends there. Along the way, you can enjoy views of Lake Lauerz, Lake Lucerne, the two Mythen peaks, Fronalpstock and Rigi. For planning your time, there are also five signposted circular hikes to choose from, starting at Mostelberg. Depending on the route, walking times range from 0.5 to 2.5 hours.

Riddle trails and the Blüemlisberg goat farm

The «Geissä Wäg» leads from Mostelberg around Engelstock to the Blüemlisberg goat farm. The trail features seven interactive stations. It is suitable for families with pushchairs if the pushchair has large wheels. Rondos Rätselpfad offers a different kind of trail experience: it is about 1.8 kilometres long and has eight riddle stations. This trail is easy to manage with a pushchair. The details of the two trails can help you choose between interactive stations and riddles; the goat farm is also a destination on the «Geissä Wäg».

At the goat farm, visitors can learn about ice cream production during the season, find out about goat farming and taste goat's milk ice cream. The farm is about a 45-minute walk from the mountain station; the time may vary depending on route conditions. If you plan to visit, take into account both the seasonal availability of the offering and the approximate time it takes to get there.

Rides, mini golf and winter ski slopes

The «Stuckli Run» summer toboggan run is 600 metres long and features tunnels and steep banked turns. At the finish, riders are conveniently pulled back up to the start. The tubing run is a 120-metre-long slide ridden on colourful tyres. A conveyor belt takes riders back to the start through the magic tunnel. At the mountain station, the mini-golf course has seven creative holes; players use a hockey stick and puck.

In winter, the Sattel-Hochstuckli ski area has 6.5 kilometres of ski slopes. Facilities for beginners include a children's lift, a conveyor belt and various obstacles and figures. Alongside the rides and mini-golf course, ski slopes and facilities for getting started with skiing are also available as distinct options.

Morgarten and Sattel's history

The Morgarten Trail leads from the parish church in Sattel to the Morgarten Monument on Lake Ägeri. Seven animated stations along the trail bring the history of Morgarten to life. The parish church is considered the most significant building in the municipality of Sattel and stands prominently on a spur of Morgartenberg. The village is also home to the visitable «Eggeli» tunnel fire-control station, part of the Schwyz fortifications.

Getting here and choosing a hotel

Bus stops for services to Zug, Schwyz or Rothenthurm are right by the Sattel-Hochstuckli valley station. Sattel railway station is a six-minute walk away. A train from Biberegg back to Sattel runs twice an hour; as train frequency depends on the timetable, check the service frequency before your journey.
