This children’s trail near Interlaken has activities along the way that match up with the Muggestutz storybook, which tells about the fairy-tale dwarfs that live in the Hasliberg area.

Trail: Easy • 1.5 h • 4 km • 10m up, 280m down • trail map.

Open: last week of May to end of October. Check status and webcams.

Location: Meiringen cable car - Underem Gfell, 3860 Meiringen. Train station: Meiringen. About 30 min from Interlaken.

There are nice picnic areas along the way, an alpine dairy where you can buy local cheese, and gorgeous views.

We read the book before going on the hike, which made it more fun for the kids. But you can definitely still enjoy the trail without the the book.

Trail info

This trail is located in the Hasliberg mountain resort, starting at the Mägisalp station and ending at the Bidmi station.

The trail is not too long, mostly downhill, and the activities keep the kids motivated. Very small children might get tired, so you might have to carry them at some point since the path is not suitable for strollers.

You should plan for at least 3 hours on the trail, to allow for playtime. At the end of the trail, there is a big playground, picnic area and restaurant.

If you want to keep hiking, you can continue on the Marble Run trail, which continues to the next gondola station lower down the mountain.
