Canton of Uri

The canton in central Switzerland attracts hikers, mountaineers and climbing enthusiasts alike. A popular tour is the Alpenkranz Uri stage tour, which comprises a total of 39 stages. In addition, the circumnavigation of the Vierwälderstättersee, the Surenenwanderung and the 85 km Vier-Quellen-Weg, which connects the Reuss, Rhone, Rhine and Ticino rivers, are both scenic and challenging.

The Alpine Circle in Uri is a popular stage tour.

Climbing enthusiasts also get their money's worth in Uri. The Fürenwand via ferrata is particularly suitable for experienced climbers. But the rather unknown Bergsee via ferrata is also a challenge. It should also be done by experienced climbers. The Via Ferrata Diavolo, on the other hand, delights families with an affinity for climbing and inspires with imposing deep views into the gorge of the granite rocks of the Schöllenen. The via ferrata Zingelstöckli, which is about 300 m long, is considered moderately difficult to difficult.

The canton of Uri is directly associated with William Tell; after all, Bürglein is considered the hometown of the famous freedom fighter. The Tell plays in Altdorf, which take place every four years, are a widely known event. Regional amateur actors stage the story of William Tell over and over again and always make a reference to current times.

Another attraction worthwhile for Tell fans is the Tell Museum in Wattigwilerturm, which contains a comprehensive collection of documents and objects relating to the Swiss national hero. It is also home to the open-air museum, which leads to the most important Tell sites along the Vierwälderstättersee lake.
