Description

The hiking trail from Gotthard Pass to Göschenen stretches over a breathtaking route in the midst of the Swiss Alps. The path offers not only a fascinating insight into the natural beauty of the region but also into the rich history and culture associated with Gotthard Pass.

Starting at Gotthard Pass at 2106 m above sea level, the hike begins with a gentle descent along a well-marked path. Hikers then continue along the route, lined with lush alpine meadows and rugged rocks. The path leads past the idyllic mountain villages Hospental and Andermatt, where various restaurants invite you to stop. From Andermatt, the trail goes into the impressive and legendary Schöllenen Gorge and over the old Devil’s Bridge. From there, you have a fantastic view of the rushing Reuss. Surrounded by steep rock walls, you then walk along the very well prepared hiking trail through the Schöllenen to the destination Göschenen.
