Uri Haute Route

The Haute Route of Uri is one of the most legendary ski tours in Switzerland. Between Andermatt and Engelberg, it leads through an impressively lonely and wild mountain landscape in the Central Swiss Alps. From hut to hut, you will experience a real adventure with magnificent stages and panoramic ascents. The descents are a particular highlight, as most of them lead through north-facing slopes with plenty of snow – it is not for nothing that it is also called ‘The Skiers Haute Route’. The route also includes summit tours to Lochberg, Sustenhorn, Uratstock and Grassen – crowned by the impressive descent down to Engelberg. With a total of around 5,500 metres of ascent and descent, the Haute Route is a must for experienced ski tourers. Depending on your fitness level and planning, it can be completed in four to five days. Whether as a sporting challenge or an unforgettable multi-day tour, the Urner Haute Route combines alpine enjoyment with a spirit of adventure and is one of the great classics of the ski touring world.
