Day 4: Urner Haute Route Map

Day 4: 'We will make our way through the Obertal valley, past the striking Fünffinger peaks, and climb up to the Uratstock at 2,911 meters. Back in Uri, we can then enjoy a great descent down to Kleinsustli. There is just one more counter climb to tackle before the well-earned reward of a cool drink on the terrace of the relaxed Sustli Hut.'
