Description

Sixteen kilometers long, it opens up to countless fantastic views of the Urnerland. But the trail comes with a price, after all some 1,300 kilometers in altitude difference have to be overcome between the starting point in Flüelen and the beginning of the mountain trail near Unter Balm. And this is not all - on the mountain trail itself another few ascents have to be mastered. But what goes up has to come down: after every ascent, you will be rewarded with a descent! And how! Just imagine, on a stretch of 6 km, the phenomenal altitude difference of 1,000 meters simply vanishes. Enjoy yourself!
