Walk-in
From the station at Andermatt, follow the route alongside and on the
main road (route signed) through the Urner Loch into the Schöllenen
gorge, turning right before you reach the Teufelsbrücke Bridge and
making for the Suvorov Memorial (1,405 m).
Diavolo via ferrata
Go across the low wall and on the wire rope to the actual start. The
route rises steeply and airily over a striking rib and into stepped
terrain, before moving over alternating flat rocks and grassy ledges
towards the mountain. There are gripping views down into the Schöllenen
gorge with the old Teufelsbrücke and its modern transport routes, which
gradually shrink to toy size. There is an extended and unsecured left
traverse (refer to the book of routes) taking you over to the route's
grande finale: a channel, an exposed corner of rock and finally a
vertical ladder, before you are standing on the edge of the
Tüfelstalboden (approx. 1,860 m). Only slightly higher, there is a
delightful stopping-point below the Uri flag, with a view of the jagged
granite of Salbitschijen.
Descent
On a well-signed path, first taking in a slight climb over the
Tüfelstalboden, and then gently downhill to the avalanche obstructions,
before zig-zagging down to the barracks area at Andermatt.
Diavolo - don't just stare at it, astonish yourself!
