Märe summit hike, 2090 m a.s.l.

Hiking trail
Time required: 5 hours 25 minutesLength: 12.46 km

Naturpark Gantrisch - Passing traditional alp farms before ascending high. The hike offers great views of the mountain landscape in good weather.

The starting point of the hike is at the Muhrenstöck car park. From there, the route leads along an alpine road over the Hundsbühl alp, through steep mountain forest and on a narrow path to the Ober Spittelgantrisch alp. From now on, one comfortably follows the alpine road up to the Eggers Wannels alp, which then turns into a narrow mountain trail. From the southwest ridge, where the view opens towards the Oberländer mountains, you reach the summit of the Märe with its prominent summit cross. The descent now follows a circular route along the ridge to the Chänelpass and from there down to the Chänel Gantisch. On the alpine road, you reach the starting point again. A detour to the cheese alp and the Gantrischli mountain inn is worthwhile.
