Plans

Hike up to Fronalpstock, take the cable car back down, get the hash.

Expedition

That was a really beautiful expedition. I went to the town Morschach by train and bus, and hiked up to the Fronalpstock mountain from there. I had planned to go hiking that weekend anyways. The route up was quite dangerous and i had to climb at some parts, but im an experienced hiker and own the necessary equipment to do such things. I had some food and water with me for the two hours i calculated to make the 1400 meters in altitude.

Next to the peak of Fronalpstock is a restaurant. A cable car is going up there, it's a well known ski resort in winter and a nice place for hiking in summer. There was a Alphorn performance going on there for the tourists. The view from the top was just breathtaking.

I took the cable car back down to the valley, and walked to the hash, which was very close to the valley station of the Stoos cable car. The coordinates turned out to be exactly at the entrance to a military bunker, located at the road towards Muotathal.

From there i took the bus back home.
