Swiss Activities Tip

Stoos has only about 150 inhabitants, but offers about 15 times as many beds. An overnight stay is worthwhile in summer as well as in winter. Besides cozy group accommodations, you will also find a 4-star hotel with spa. In summer you can choose from 340 km of hiking trails in the Stoos-Muotathal region. Many of these trails are also accessible by mountain bike or e-bike. In winter the landscape turns into a large skiing area with 35 km of slopes, 10 km of cross-country skiing trails, 2 km of toboggan runs, snowshoe trails (e.g. 3.5 km Stoos-Rieter-Stoos) and groomed winter hiking trails.
