Die Alpkäserei Ober Gisleralp ist eine der wenigen Privatalpen im Kanton Uri. Sie ist jeweils von Mitte Juni bis Mitte September bestossen.

Auf der Sonnenterrasse des Schächentals breitet sich die Ober Gisleralp zwischen 1700 und 1900 m ü. M. aus. Die Gisleralpen sind auch Schauplatz von verschiedenen Urner Sagen. So soll zum Beispiel einst ein Senn auf der Gisleralp zufällig mit seinem Gehstock einen Knochen aufgespiesst haben. Weil dieser in der Beiz plötzlich zu bluten begann, konnte der Senn einer Straftat überführt werden: Vor 30 Jahren hatte er einen Handknab auf der Alp zu Tode gequält.

Der Älpler stellt einen bekannten Alpkäse her, den er auch direkt ab Alp verkauft.

Hallo Corinne... Da wir eine Wanderwegorganisation sind und kein Tourist-Informationsbüro, können wir Dir leider keine abschliessende Auskunft geben. Am besten fragst du mal bei der Alpkäserei Kinzig nach unter Tel. 077 433 32 93. Besten Dank für Dein Verständnis und freundliche Grüsse Angela Grepper Urner Wanderwege
