3rd Stage Gotthard Tunnel Trail (Sedrun - Lukmanier Pass)

The day promises a lot of variety: We are always in the valley area, pass through small villages and shady forests, take a break on the Stagias heights, and cross an extraordinary larch wood suspension bridge in Mutschnengia. On the old Lukmanier Pass route, modernity seems not to have arrived yet in the hamlets of Drual, Matergia, and Pardé. The Alpe Sogn Gagl belongs to the Disentis Monastery and the famous "wandering monk" Father Placidus A. Spescha spent some time here. But that was more than two hundred years ago. At the latest, the first glance at the dam of the Santa Maria reservoir brings us back to modern times. But this also has its charm as we hike along the left bank on the gallery roof to the pass height.

Construction work is still ongoing at the gallery on the Lukmanier Pass. As soon as it is completed, hiking over the gallery will be possible again (a bit shorter)

The route can be shortened at will in Val Medel by post bus or interrupted with an additional overnight stay.

From Sedrun we follow the marked hiking trail (green sticker "Gotthard Tunnel Trail") down into the village and further along the access road to the hamlet of Cavorgia. This is followed by the ascent on a forest road to Stagias and then down to Mutschnengia in Val Medel. On the left side of the Rein da Medel, the path leads to the Santa Maria dam. We cross the crest and circle the lake to the hospice.
