Start zum Vier-Quellen-Weg
At over 2,000 metres above sea level, this hike leads across lush, scree-strewn meadows between massive slanting rock faces. Gentian, alpine roses and white cotton grass thrive around the high-moor lakes. One can cross the Rhine with three steps at its source; its water is even drinkable here.

Beschreibung

Hike from source to source and stay overnight along the route: The Four Springs Route in the Gotthard region allows you to explore the area where four rivers originate in five daily stages. Experience the water divide and weather divide of Europe on the Four Springs Route. In the legendary Gotthard massif, you hike to the four sources Rhine, Reuss, Ticino and Rhone, which flow in all four cardinal directions. The alpine hiking trail is divided into five daily stages.


The first stage starts at Oberalppass and ends at the Vermigelhütte. The path leads to the source of the Rhine at Tomasee. The Rhine then flows through the canton of Graubünden to Schaffhausen's Rhine Falls. From there, the Rhine flows via Basel through Germany to the sea in Holland. From Tomasee, the route continues over the Maighelspass where the idyllic Portgerensee invites you to linger. Then you begin the descent to Vermigelhütte. 

Geheimtipp

Extension of the route: Oberalppass - Pazolastock - Badushütte - Tomasee - Maighelshütte/Vermigelhütte (takes 2 hours longer than the normal route) 

Sicherheitshinweis

Hikers should watch the weather forecast in advance, as parts of the hike are above 2000 m.a.s.l. and there may be light snowfall in extreme cases.

Ausrüstung


  • Weather-appropriate clothing
