In the upper Muotathal valley lies the Glattalp area, a natural environment with alpine vegetation and grazing animals. The area also includes Lake Glattalp, as well as hiking trails towards the Pfaff viewpoint and the Klausen Pass.
Trails
The Guggeli circular route is a winter hiking trail on the sunny side of the valley. It leads through forests, past streams, across pastureland and to viewpoints. The route begins in Wil, which is considered the oldest part of Muotathal, and passes the St. Josef Monastery. Franciscan nuns continue to live and work there. The monastery is also associated with General Suvorov’s campaign of 1799.
The Muotatal valley combines the Muotabach stream, agricultural land on the valley floor and the surrounding mountain landscape. Another winter hiking trail follows the Muota and the valley floor. Access is possible from the Vordere Brücke bus stop or from the Rambach car park.
