Seebodenalp Marble Run Trail

Eleven play stations, open Alpine pastures and a large wooden ball characterise this family circuit on Seebodenalp. Along the way are the Fluebach, the Ruodisegg mountain restaurant and St. Wendelin’s Chapel.

On Seebodenalp, which can be reached by cable car from Küssnacht, the signposted circuit begins in an anticlockwise direction. The Marble Run Trail is designed as a family hike: eleven widely spaced play stations line the almost seven-kilometre circuit. A large wooden ball sets the runs in motion along the way; younger children need help and supervision.

Initially, the route climbs gently across open meadows and pastures. After just over two kilometres, it reaches its highest point at around 1,130 m. The hiking trail then descends to the Fluebach and follows it through the broad Alpine landscape. At the Ruodisegg mountain restaurant, the circuit passes a refreshment stop. The stream remains nearby for a while before the trail heads back across Seebodenalp. Shortly before the end, St. Wendelin’s Chapel stands directly beside the route. After around two and a half hours, the starting point at Seebodenalp is reached once again.
