Via Alpina Green Route C6: Urnerboden to Altdorf Map

Beginning on a very busy road, but quickly getting more picturesque and remote, the route takes you on a mountain trail through alpine pastureland, peaking with fantastic views in all directions: see the Schächental and Brunnital valleys, the summits of the Clariden, Gross Windgällen, Hoch Fulen, Sittliser, and Spitzen. In the background stand the Spannörter, Titlis, Uri-Rotstock, Brisen massifs, and many others. To the right, the dolomite-like Schächtentaler Windgällen rock also towers! The trail then leads you down passed the pilgrimage chapel dating back to 1576, and then you should join onto the Klaus Pass road, which takes you passed the small hamlets of Trudelingen and Sigmanig, over the Schächen river to Bürgeln and on to Altdorf.
