Description

From the Vermigelhütte in the Unteralptal, the white-blue marked path leads to the ground of Sunnsbiel via the Gafallenstafel (2334 m above sea level) to the alpine meadows of Gafallen, where small lakes line the path. Over snowfields, scree, and rock ridges, the path rises to the Schwarzbach and over a steep rubble field further up to Gemsstock. Once at the top, you take the same path back.

Thousands of freeriders descend from Gemsstock every winter on various routes through the Unteralptal to Andermatt. In summer, there are significantly fewer people taking the marked path over Gafallen.
