Käsepass Alp Altenoren

Altenoren – a high plateau with three stately Alps: Altenoren Chrummlaui, Altenoren Chäsboden and Altenoren Wangen. All three produce the finest alpine cheese.

The origin of the name: "Alt" means high and "oren" comes from Latin ora hem/edge; the march from Linthal/Reitimatt, where this hike starts, takes one hour.

Along the alpine road it goes further and further up to the first huts and soon you reach the alpine hut of the Horner family, where the cheese pass stamp is also waiting.

Altenoren is located at the back of the Grosstal, high above the Tierfed. It is a magnificent high plateau: the view into the valley and out to the Fronalpstock is magnificent.

You can reach the alp on foot in about an hour from the Gnüss car park, Reitimatt.
