Vorderthal

Vorderthal is best known in the canton of Schwyz for its setting in the Wägital valley beside Wägitalersee. This long artificial lake, held back for hydroelectric generation, gives the small settlement a distinctly alpine setting between steep, wooded slopes and higher pastureland. Vorderthal lies on the road through the valley toward Innerthal, making it a practical starting point for walks around the reservoir and into the surrounding mountains. The area reflects the rural side of central Switzerland, where farming and summer alpine grazing remain part of the valley’s character.
