Getting There
To get to the start of the trail at the Berghotel Schönhalden, you will need to use the Saxli-Schönhalden gondola lift, which runs from Flums Saxli. You can get to the lower station as detailed below.
Even from this relatively low altitude, you get a stunning view across the valley.
By Car: If you put “Talstation Bergbahn Schönhalden, Kleinbergstrasse, 8894 Flums” into your GPS (I recommend using Google maps), it will take you right to the gondola station, and there is a small amount of parking right opposite it. The drive from Zürich takes about an hour via the A3 to Flums, where you will need to take exit 49-Flums and then follow Bergstrasse and Kleinbergstrasse for about 3km to your destination
By public transport: The bus stop Flumserberg Saxli, Saxlirank is right opposite the gondola station and bus 440 runs from Flums, Bahnhof taking about 18 minutes to get to your destination. Note: bus services are limited, so be sure to check the timing of your hike to ensure that you are able to get back to the bus stop in time for a bus.
Details of the gondola life can be found here.
