The small village of Sattel sits around 800 metres above sea level between Lake Aegeri and Lake Lauerz and is home to Europe's oldest timber house dating back to 1176. Today, the world's first revolving aerial gondola takes passengers up the Mostelberg in gondolas that rotate around their axis.

This route's steepest ascent begins on a narrow road. The recreational complex in Mostelberg is reached via a forest path. A toboggan run, a bouncy paradise, an adventure park and the 375-metre suspension bridge over the rugged and romantic Lauitobel attract many tourists.

A pleasant gravel road with stunning, far-reaching views leads around the Engelstock. Rigi, Lake Lauerz, Wingällen, Spannort and the pyramid-shaped Mythen peaks are just some of the fixed points of the fantastic views. Forest and pasture passages alternate on the way to Blüemlisberg. Now the trail leads along the southern slope towards the Mythen. At Schwand, another ascent starts on a narrow path over hilly meadows and past small woodlands.

Before Haggenegg, you pass a small chapel. It was built on the spot where the image of the Black Mother of God was buried in 1798. The Einsiedeln monastery had hidden it there from the French troops.

The trail now heads south through the Gumenwald forest. Narrow paths lead along the eastern slope of the Mythen to Holzegg. Here you can take the cable car to Brunni, 305 metres below. Alternatively, there are overnight accommodation options at Holzegg, and a secured trail leads climbing enthusiasts up the Grosse Mythen. The panoramic views from the summit are spectacular.
