A short but steep hike with amazing views showing that the Swiss are generally super fit with young children, pensioners and dogs making the 800m ascent with relative ease.

Be prepared for some steep drops at the side of the rocky path and you’ll be rewarded with views both on the ascent and over Vierwaldstättersee when you reach the summit. I took a packed lunch but there are loads of eating options in Brunni and also a small restaurant at the top.
