May 11, 2025,"Ämmital" Mettlenalp - Napf

A Sunday like you order and rarely get: decorative little clouds, clear air, not too warm, not too cool. Perfect hiking weather, pure idyll in the "Ämmital."

Mettlenalp lies quietly – nothing spectacular, but just right. Lace up your shoes, pack your backpack, and off you go.
