Stoos

Built around alpine grazing land above the Muota valley, Stoos SZ grew into a car-free mountain resort in the canton of Schwyz. At about 1,300 metres, the settlement is reached by mountain transport rather than private cars, lending its lanes a notably quiet rhythm. The Stoosbahn funicular, opened in 2017, is known for its exceptionally steep 110-percent gradient and its rotating cabins that keep floors level. Trails and lifts connect Stoos with Klingenstock and Fronalpstock, where the terrain opens towards Lake Lucerne and the surrounding Alpine ranges. Alpine pasture farming remains part of the area’s character. Move on to other webcams in Schwyz to compare landscapes and settings around central Switzerland.
