Vordere Schmiedenmatt Mountain Inn

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The next Alm with management. Here we rested and ate great things from the area. The cheese made here is especially great. There are also overnight accommodations.

For today's hike we parked in Schmiedemattenweg.
Route:
Chamben - Stierenberg paragliding site - Stierenberg mountain restaurant - Wanneflue - suspension bridge - Hofbergli mountain restaurant - Hintere Schmiedematt
Today it was another very beautiful mountain and alpine trail over the Chamben to the "Stierenberg" mountain restaurant.
A short, tough climb again to the Wanneflue.
Continuing on slightly wider paths …
