How to get there

By public transport: Take a train to Rüti ZH, then buses to Atzmännig, Schutt, which is directly at the mountain resort. From Zürich, 1h20 by train + bus.

By car: The address is Atzmännigstrasse 1, 8638 Goldingen. We suggest driving via Goldingen. Otherwise, your GPS may route you on a one-lane country road, which is quite stressful.
