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 spring to spring and spend the night along the route: The Four Springs Trail in the Gotthard region allows you to explore the area where four rivers have their source in five daily stages. Experience the moated castle and the weather divide of Europe on the Four Springs Trail. In the legendary Gotthard massif, you hike to the four springs of the Rhine, Reuss, Ticino and Rhone, which flow in all four directions. The alpine hiking trail is divided into five daily stages.

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

Geheimtipp

Extension of the route: Oberalp Pass - Pazolastock - Badushütte - Tomasee - Maighelshütte/Vermigelhütte (takes 2h longer than the normal route)

Sicherheitshinweis

Hikers should keep an eye on the weather forecast in advance, as parts of the hike are located at over 2000 m above sea level and therefore light snowfall can occur in extreme cases.

Ausrüstung

  • Clothing suitable for the weather
  • Good footwear
  • Hiking poles are recommended
