This level is a beautiful example of how nature goes its own way. Especially after long periods of precipitation you can see how the water creates new paths. Transported and deposited rubble from the Alps. The light blue river water with the Klausen Pass in the background also makes a wonderful photo motif.

Stäubifall Waterfall and Alp Äsch

Highlight • Waterfall

place of power!
The cows and a few sheep look at you as if they want to welcome you here. The imposing, approximately 100 meter high waterfall called "Stäubifall" or "Stäuberfall" rushes continuously and is the most famous waterfall in Unterschächen. With every meter you get closer to the hamlet, you fall in love. The Alp Äsch at 1238m is an unknown paradise in the Swiss Alps.

The houses are family-owned and today mostly belong to several families. Because the descendants of the families often use this simply as a holiday home. However, there is a restaurant called Gasthöfli, which is open in summer. It offers drinks and simple local dishes such as sausage and cheese platters, soup of the day, Wienerli, etc.

Only one person lives on Alp Äsch all year round. Access is very dangerous in winter due to the risk of avalanches and is therefore not recommended.
