Wander the car-free main street, window-shop artisanal boutiques and stop for a relaxed coffee and patisserie in a cozy café.

1h

Transfer: Funicular up to Sunnegga (to reach Findeln)

Short funicular ride to Sunnegga — the most romantic mountain terrace routes begin here for access to Zum See and Leisee.
