The trail from Mettmen to Matt is 11 km long with 599 m ascent and 1379 m decent. With stunning mountain panoramas and a lovely alpine lake (Berglimattsee), this is a beautiful hike. However, the long steep descent, often on loose gravel was very tough on the knees and not my favorite to hike.

Stage 15 of the Alpine Panorama Trail (Route 3) is a 16 km hike with 640 m ascent and 840 m descent that goes from Lüderenalp to Moosegg. We did this hike over two days because both endpoints have limited bus service. Our break point was the Emmenmatt train station.
