Guided Full Moon Hike above Lake Walensee & Raclette in the wild
Have you ever been on a hike when the Moon is full? It’s totally worth it and you should give it a try! And this is not just a full moon hike. It starts with a boat ride on Walensee, followed by a beautiful hike above the lake and at the foot of the famous Churfirsten, then we stop to enjoy an outdoor raclette and continue the hike all the way to Walenstadt. And you’ll be back in Zurich before midnight!
This trip is led by Celine Kahn, mountain leader.
What's the plan?
We meet at Murg West to take the boat to Quinten at 16:43. It takes 15 minutes to cross Walensee by boat. Quinten is a beautiful car-free hamlet, only reachable by boat or on foot. After a nice and easy hike along the lake and passing by other charming hamlets, we start our ascent through the forest until we reach a beautiful plateau just below the impressive Churfirsten. This is where, in the open air, we stop and make our raclette to get some cheesy energy. After a nice outdoor dinner, we slowly hike down through the forest again, all the way to Walenstadt. We end up on the East side of Walensee and make our way to the train station through town centre.
Technical info: 11km - 500m ascent - 500m descent
