Following his time with Basel, Hangartner returned again to FC Brüttisellen for two seasons. He spent the season 1992–93 with FC Chur and the season 1993–94 with FC Chiasso. After then spending two seasons with AC Bellinzona he moved on and ended his football career after the 1996–97 season that he spent with FC Gossau.
