Description

The hike starts at the Andermatt train station and leads first to the roundabout near the Coop and the bakery. From there, take the Oberalpstrasse up to the Wyler district. A few meters past the chapel, an alpine road branches off to the right. Follow this road through the wild and romantic Unteralp valley until you reach the Vermigel Hut. Along the way, you’ll pass lush meadows, the Unteralpreuss stream, and several other streams. After a break at the Vermigel Hut, head back to Andermatt along the same route.

However, the Vermigel Hut can also be reached via other well-maintained hiking trails. Situated at 2,042 meters above sea level at the very back of the Unteralp Valley, this small and cozy SAC lodge delights families, hikers, and, in winter, ski tourers alike. Located on the “Sunnsbiel” viewing terrace, the hut serves as a starting point for a variety of rewarding hikes as well as numerous popular biking, snowshoeing, and ski touring routes along the main Alpine ridge, and is a stop on the Four Sources Trail.
