The village of Sattel in the Canton Schwyz pre-Alps is departure point of the world’s first aerial cableway with revolving panorama gondolas that take guests up to fun and sport facilities. Europe’s largest outdoor skating facility is located at the valley station.

The village of Sattel lies on the pass leading from Goldau and Schwyz to the Ägerisee lake and into the high valley of the Biber towards Einsiedeln and the Zürichsee. On 15 November 1315, the hamlet of Schornen am Morgarten in the municipal district of Sattel was the scene of a battle between the Habsburgs and the people of Schwyz with their allies. The battle went down in history as the confederates’ «first fight for freedom». The Habsburg army suffered a crushing defeat and the Morgarten memorial at the Ägerisee and a chapel commemorate the Battle of Morgarten.


SUMMER


The Sattel-Hochstuckli aerial gondola offers a mountain cableway experience in a class of its own. Stuckli Rondo is the world’s first aerial cableway with revolving gondolas and carries guests in comfort up to the Stuckli Run (summer sledge run with steep-walled bends and tunnels), the Stuckli Jump (jumping paradise with trampoline & bouncy castle), the Engelstock experience trail, departure points for hikes and strolls and mountain inns.
The Sattel Roller Park, Europe’s largest outdoor skating facility with an area of 7000 m2 (partly covered) is located next to the bottom station of the Stuckli Rondo. The leisure and sport park is open to bladers, snake and skateboarders, roller skaters and BMX riders of all ages and abilities and also encompasses other leisure options.


WINTER


In winter the region transforms itself into a family-friendly winter-sport area with 14 km of pistes and 20 km of cross-country runs. For sledging fans the racy run from Mostelberg down to Sattel is an experience not to be missed (on selected dates even at night). Snowshoe treks followed by fondue or moonshine menus round off a fun-filled day in the snow.
