Kronberg

Kronberg rises to about 1663 meters and offers extensive hiking routes through alpine meadows and forests in eastern Switzerland. The summit area provides access to trails of varying difficulty for different skill levels.

The installation of a cable car system in 1999 made the summit accessible to a much wider range of visitors for the first time. This infrastructure fundamentally changed how people experience the mountain.

The mountain is closely tied to local pastoral traditions, where herders still drive cattle to alpine pastures following centuries-old practices. This way of life shapes the landscape you see when you visit.

A modern cable car carries you quickly from the base to the summit regardless of weather or fitness level. Once there, you will find rest areas, information boards, and multiple trails to explore.

The summit features educational trails that teach visitors about the region's geology and ecology through interpretive signs and markers along the paths. These routes bring natural science directly into your walking experience.
