The Rotenfluh (also spelled Rotenflue) is a mountain in the Swiss Prealps, located east of Schwyz in Central Switzerland. It is part of the range surrounding the valley of Alpthal, culminating at the Gross Mythen. The Rotenfluh is a popular vantage point over the Lake Lucerne region.
Transport
[edit]The mountain is part of a ski area and is easily accessible from Rickenbach near Schwyz by the Rotenfluebahn.[2] Unlike the previous cable car, which culminated at an elevation of 1,527 metres (5,010 ft), the current facility reaches a higher elevation, the upper station being within a few metres from the top. Several restaurants lie in the summit area. Buses link the valley station of the Rotenfluh cable car (Rotenfluebahn) with Schwyz railway station.
Nathalie Henseler is the CEO and chairman of the board of the Rotenfluebahn Mythenregion AG.
