Event Information
Description
The Rotondo area in the region between the Furka, Nufenen and Gotthard passes is a lonely area, but one that offers very rewarding tours and a magnificent natural landscape. After crossing the Witenwasseren Pass and descending through the wild and romantic Geren Valley, we reach Oberwald in Obergoms. Program: Day 1: We meet at 09.05 am at the train station in Realp/UR (1538m). We ascend through the beautiful Witenwasserental valley over easy but varied terrain to the Rotondohütte (2569m), approx. 5 ½ hours. This beautifully and quietly situated mountain hut is on the sunny side of the Tälligrat and offers a wonderful view of a magnificent mountain world. We have a good time with the hut warden Pia Biondi. Day 2: We start our snowshoe tour early in the morning and hike up the Witenwasseren glacier to the Witenwasseren pass (2805m), approx. 1 ½ hours. The view now opens up towards the imposing Pizzo Rotondo and the rear part of the Gerental valley. We now descend into this deserted valley. The long Gerental valley leads us from the glaciated high mountains through alpine pastures and wooded areas to the touristy Oberwald (1376m), approx. 4 - 5 hours. We conclude this peaceful snowshoeing weekend with coffee and cake at approx. 15.00 in Oberwald/VS. Individual journey home.
