The Hike - Stage 6


https://schweizmobil.ch/en/hiking-in-switzerland/route-3/stage-6

Notes:
1. This is not the official Route 3 itinerary - instead of going through the valley for a boring 20km+ flat hike, we go through the hills and the Rossweidhöchi pass and we shorten the hike a bit
2. There is an option to save 500m of ascent at the start of the hike from Niederurnen to Morgenholz thanks to the chairlift (https://www.niederurnertaeli.ch/luftseilbahn/fahrplan-und-preise) - the cabine leaves at 9:30am and the cost is 10 CHF for the ascent - GA or Halb-tax are not valid.
3. You don't need to have done the previous stages to join! And you don’t have to register for the next stages either 😎
