E-bike & hike - Murgsee

E-bike route to Mornen (21 km, 3h 15min, round trip)

The adventure journey starts immediately at Murg station. From there, the path leads into the idyllic Murg valley. Let yourself be enchanted by the beautiful surroundings and discover the Murg valley on two wheels. Soon the steady ascent begins to the Plätz hydroelectric power station. From there, the path snakes through numerous curves. From Merlen, the path runs on a gravel road. It continues through the green nature to the transport cableway on Alp Mornen. There we exchange the e-bike for hiking shoes.

Hike to the Murg lakes (7.7 km, 2h 45 min, round trip)

We continue our journey along the Murgbach. Shortly you will reach the first of the three picturesque Murg lakes. You pass the impressive Murgbachfall before arriving at the middle and upper Murgsee as well as the Murgsee hut. A perfect spot for a relaxing break to enjoy the surrounding nature and panorama. The Murg lakes are framed by a ring of mountains. On the left, the imposing Mürtschenstock rises with its three peaks Stock, Fulen and Ruchen. The return is along the same path, but the view down the valley repeatedly reveals new facets of the original Murg valley to the hiker.

E-bike back to Murg

From Mornen, return the same way to the Plätz hydroelectric power station. From there, the path leads over Vorderschwendi to Rütiberg and finally back to Murg station.

As a reward, after the route, you can cool off in the lake at the campsite and beach pool in Murg and enjoy an ice cream.
