Fronalpstock, Mountain summit in Schwyz, Switzerland
Fronalpstock is a mountain peak in the Schwyzer Alps that rises to 1920 meters above sea level. The summit provides a viewpoint where the lake, distant summits, and forested slopes spread across the horizon in multiple directions.
The mountain became a hiking destination as Swiss tourism grew in the early 20th century. Local paths were gradually developed into marked routes that connected nearby villages to the summit area.
Swiss families gather at Fronalpstock's summit restaurants to share traditional mountain meals while enjoying panoramic Alpine views throughout the seasons.
A cable car from Stoos village brings you quickly to the summit area, saving effort on the ascent. The best time to visit is from late spring through early autumn when trails are clear and weather conditions are most stable.
A ridge trail connects this peak to neighboring Klingenstock, offering a different perspective across the high terrain. Many visitors stop only at the summit restaurant, missing the extended ridge walk that reveals more of the Alpine landscape.
