Hiking from Wolzenalp to Krummenau

The starting point is the mountain station of the chairlift. The path is well signposted towards Krümmenschwil and Krummenau, the train station, or the parking lot for the sports lifts. You can also follow the signposts with the sticker showing the number 1. First, the path leads over the paved access road to the valley station of the Stalden ski lift. At the first sharp curve, the signpost points straight down the valley over the meadow. The trail comfortably follows a footpath across the meadow and through a small woodland. The path leads across open terrain past farms. The valley station of the chairlift is always in view. It goes under the chairlift across the terrain until the path joins a small street. From there, it is a short walk across the road to the valley station or onward via crossing the Thur to the parking lot of the Krummenau-Wolzenalp sports lift or to the train station or bus stop.

Light day backpack (approx. 15 litres) with rain cover, comfortable footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, sun and rain protection, possibly provisions and drinking water, possibly a city map

It is worth exploring the peatland circular trail on Wolzenalp barefoot.
