This is an outstanding route in a marvellous landscape. Due to its proximity to Zurich, it is always well-visited. The sharp karst limestone requires a thick layer of snow. Moreover, the starting point is at a relatively low altitude. If there is not enough snow on the first, steep slopes of Schwantli, the variant on the alp access road via Aberen comes into play. There is no public transportation between the Innerthal bus stop and the end of the lake Hinterbruch. Alpentaxi, Mobility (car sharing), hitch-hiking, walking (1 hour) or renting a bicycle at the Stausee restaurant are the alternatives.
