Event Information
Description
Rotondo hut 2,570 m & continental divide 3,025 m Weekend hike into the alpine heart of the Gotthard region - 27/28.9.2025 - https://www.simplyhiking.ch/rotondohutte25/ The Rotondo Hut is nestled in a barren, impressive high mountain landscape above the Witenwasseren Pass - where the great rivers Rhine, Rhone and Ticino have their source. It is a quiet refuge in the middle of the Gotthard massif, surrounded by massive granite flanks, wide boulder fields and glistening glacier remains. The hut offers a simple, warm atmosphere with sweeping views - ideal for anyone looking for peace, space and unspoiled nature. A special highlight is the hike to the continental divide on the Witenwasserenstock (unnamed eastern summit, 3,025 m). This is where the precipitation divides into three major watercourses: - Towards the North Sea via the Rhine, - towards the Mediterranean via the Rhone, - towards the Adriatic via the Ticino. This place is also impressive in geological terms: a rugged border separates the cantons of Uri and Ticino - visible through steep rock faces and rugged rock formations. A wild, archaic landscape that is deeply moving in its raw beauty. Note: This text was translated by machine translation software and not by a human translator. It may contain translation errors.
