🏔 Gnipen, Schwyz
☀️ Looking for a spectacular sunrise or sunset hike? Which you only have to share with a handful of people, has a beautiful approach through flowerfields, and breathtaking panoramic views? Then you should definitely save this hike! Depending on the snow, you can already do this hike at beginning April, which makes it the perfect spring or summer getaway 🌞
