ℹ️ To get to this hike, you've to take a small cable car up (luftseilbahn Chilcherberg), which starts at the small town called Silenen. After the cable car you can follow the signs up to hike 5.3km to Seewlisee. From here, you hike another 7.3 km to Sittlisalp where you can take another cable car down. ⚠️ highly recommended to do with public transport. If not, make it a roundtrip to Seewlisee and back.
