Description
A beautiful panoramic hike through the realm of myths. Admire the two mythical sisters up close on a beautiful hike.
The ascent to the starting point and the descent back down to the valley are both easily covered by gondola. This makes the scenic panoramic tour ideal for families with children. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Alpthal, the Schwyz valley basin, and, of course, the two Mythen peaks. Various mountain inns invite you to stop for a break.
Starting from Rotenflue, the ascent is shorter and the hike takes about 2 hours and 40 minutes. From Sattel-Hochstuckli toward Rotenflue, the hike takes about 3 hours and 5 minutes.
