Filzbach

Filzbach (720 m/2,362ft) is a village and health resort, magnificently located on a terrace of meadowland 270 m/886ft above the Walensee, below the pyramidal summit of the Mürtschenstock (2,442 m/8,012ft). 1.25 hours' walk south is the little Talalpsee (1,100 m/3,609ft). A chairlift (1,650 m/5,414ft; 14minutes) ascends from Filzbach to the Habergschwänd Alp (1,280 m/4,200ft; restaurant). From Filzbach, the road continues gently uphill and circles the Sallerntobel gorge, with beautiful views at the Cafe Seeblick (1.5km/1mi) just before reaching Obstalden.
