Naturfreundehaus Tscherwald at Lake Walen

The rustic and cosy Friends of Nature Lodge Tscherwald is located at an altitude of 1361 m on Amden’s sun terrace, high above the northern shore of Lake Walen. To the south, the panorama opens up to the peaks of the Glarus region, with the striking Mürtschenstock towering into the sky, and to the east, you can see as far as the well-known Flumserberg ski resort. The lodge can be reached via Weesen on Lake Walen and Amden; it’s situated right at the very end of the paved road, nestled in a small wooded area and surrounded by meadows. Beyond it, the trails immediately begin for hiking, mountain biking, or, in winter, ski or snowshoe tours up to Gulmen, the Churfirsten, or across to Toggenburg. In winter, Amden’s two smaller, family-friendly ski resorts are also easily accessible.
