Crossing Gross Mythen | Adlerspitzli & Wysswändli
Lonely, wild and full of views. Along hidden paths and enjoyable climbs to the striking Schwyz landmark.
Technics
Endurance
Many people are probably familiar with the Gross Mythen. But the solitary combination via the Adlerspitzli and the Wysswändli shows it from a completely new angle. In the 3rd degree of difficulty, we follow the striking rib to the Adlerspitz. We find great rock and varied climbing sections here! After a cosy rest on the Adlerspitz, we abseil down into the saddle and then cross over remote paths to the foot of the Wysswändli. Another long, enjoyable scramble awaits us here, which finally leads us to the summit of the Gross Mythen. On the way, we come across a rarely visited wall book that has survived for more than 30 years and carries a piece of alpine history within it! All the while, we enjoy the magnificent view of Lake Lucerne and the Alpine panorama as far as the peaks of Bern. At the summit, we then fortify ourselves in the cosy summit restaurant. The descent is relaxed along the hiking trail and, thanks to the Brunni cable car, the journey there and back is a pleasantly short one. A tour for all those who want to combine solitude, the joy of climbing and mountain culture.
Procedure and meeting place
We meet at the valley station of the Brunni - Holzegg cable car. If you are travelling from the Schwyz side, we will meet about 15 minutes later at the Holzegg mountain station.
From the mountain station, we climb first along hiking trails and then barely visible paths to the foot of the Adlerspitz.
We start scrambling and climbing surrounded by a fantastic backdrop and on fantastic rock.
We cross the south face of the Gross Mythen on foot and on a short rope. Where necessary, we will belay you so that you feel comfortable and can enjoy the atmosphere.
A unique line leads us through the Wysswändli up to the summit of the Gross Mythen. Climbing in 3rd degree.
At the summit, we enjoy a cool drink and the magnificent view before descending comfortably back to the cable car in 1 hour.
