An adventurous route in the heart of Switzerland across rugged and lonely glaciers and from the summit of the Sustenhorn an exceptional panorama over an impressive glacial world.
In the heart of Switzerland lie the Urner Alps. The area owes its name to the oldest Swiss canton, Uri. Our glacier route begins in the somewhat lower eastern part on the border with the Rhaeto-Romance Graubünden. Via the surprisingly green Maderaner and Brunnital valleys you cross to the western part, which is higher and more glaciated. Now we walk over extensive glaciers and snowfields. The surroundings of the Tierberglihütte are breathtaking: an island in a white world. We hike via a crossing of the Sustenpass towards Amsteg. The Urner Alps are relatively quiet, allowing nature to come into full effect.
Note: This route has been posted in the past by the NKBV. Due to possible changing conditions you are always responsible for checking the current route conditions yourself. Inform yourself at the local tourist office or from the experts of the relevant region so you go safely and well prepared on your way.
