GTT Bristen - Sedrun 2. Etappe

We hike into the Etzli valley, where we reach the Etzliboden via two terrain steps. After a short ascent, we arrive at the Etzli hut. From the terrace, our view sweeps into the Chrüzlit valley to the Chrüzli Pass, which was already used centuries ago as a pilgrim's and muleteer's path. On the Chrüzli Pass we stand for a moment exactly above the tunnel tube! Arriving in Val Strem, we are impressed by the untouched valley with the lively stream, the lush meadows with cotton grass and the view of the Oberalpstock. At the waterfalls of Bauns we look down to Sedrun. Here, however, we cannot continue on the planned route because a rockslide buried the valley in March 2016. Once at the top, we count the mountain peaks of Piz Badus, Piz Gannaretsch to Piz Medel and other three-thousand-metre peaks in between. On the following valley hike to Sedrun we always have the sun in our faces.

From the Etzlihütte you can also hike over the Mittelplatten to Sedrun, which is shorter and less strenuous.

From Bristen we follow the signposted hiking trail (green sticker "Gotthard Tunnel Trail") to the Etzli hut, which is a few minutes above the valley floor. The trail continues to the Chrüzli Pass, then down to Bauns. Here you have to overcome a counter-ascent of about 300 meters in altitude. Via Alp Caschle we descend to Sedrun.
