    Tips

    February 12, 2018

    The Sunshine Meadows lie on an average 2300m high plateau.
    Here you have the opportunity to take a high mountain hike with relatively little slope.
    Wildflowers and other alpine plants as far as the eye can see framed by a breathtaking mountain scenery.


    Well maintained hiking trail around Mount Standish and the three mountain lakes.

    Sunshine Village can be reached by cable car from Friday to Monday. On the other days a shuttle bus runs from the valley station. Here a reservation is recommended.
    In addition, it is best to take a quick look at any trail closures at the park management (online or on site) before you open yourself for free. The mountain lakes are used for water intake for firefighting helicopters and the path is then completely or partially blocked, even if the fire itself is further away and there is no immediate danger.
