    It was around noon, and the sun was shining brightly over the dwarf village in the mountains. The children were playing and laughing as they do every day around this time. Pina and her friends Timo, Rick, and Lolo were playing hide and seek near the old oak tree. "What is this?" calls Timo, pointing to a red shimmer beneath the moss. Experience the story about the secret of the sparkling stone. The story begins at the mountain station of this aerial cableway and leads you to various places in the Bannalp. Enjoy this magical children's hiking trail in a breathtaking mountain landscape. Lunch on the way is no problem. The Zwärgliweg passes by the fire pits directly on the Bannalpsee. At the mouth of the mountain brook into Bannalpsee, there is a wood supply for the grill pits. Ask at the ticket office for the affordable family tickets. We wish you lots of excitement and a relaxing time at Bannalp.
