    Hike to the idyllic Alpe Els, situated under the Gamsfreiheit. A refreshment stop is worthwhile!

    From the mountain station of the Muttersberg cable car, a road leads to the Tiefenseesattel. On a gentle incline – with a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains – the trail continues to the farmed Alpe Els. The idyllically situated alpine pasture below the Gamsfreiheit is a popular destination for hikers and mountain bikers. Delicious alpine products invite you to enjoy and linger. The way back follows the same route.

    For those who still have some condition, a short ascent (approx. 45 min.) to the Elser Fürkele is worthwhile. A sensational view of the Rätikon mountains and the valley awaits you. Back on the same way!
