What people say
Stephen Jiroch
"As of 2022, the round trip tickets cost 34 CHF! We only took the gondola up and hiked down and honestly wouldn’t really recommend the hike all the way down - it was steep and very slippery and not well marked. It’s worth the extra money for the round trip Gondola!
The way up only took us about 45 minutes! It’s fairly moderate switch backs but make sure you have good grip hiking shoes!
The Swiss Half Fare card does get you discounts here!
PRO TIP: if you want to photograph sunset or sunrise here without dealing with extra hiking, book a stay at the chalet at the top of Schäfler!
📸: Unfortunately there are no drones allowed here! "

"Another hike you can do from the bottom or take a gondola to the top for a much shorter hike. The gondola does stop running around sunset so if you do not want to hike down (I lost more than a few toenails going down) than make sure to watch times. You can also stay at the lodge at the top and catch these stunning views for sunrise or sunset. "
