Starting in Göschenen, you leisurely hike through the Göschenertal Alp past green meadows, rest areas, woodland, and along the river. After the hike from Göschenen up to the dam, the southern route begins towards the Dammahütte. It is the shorter route in terms of time and distance. The hiking trail runs south of the Göschenertal Alp lake, along the slopes and meadows of Älpergen and Höhenberg. Early risers can enjoy the morning shade on the first half of the trail, from the dam to the Dammareuss bridge. This is a great spot for a well-deserved rest. At the bridge, the southern and northern routes meet. From this junction, the direct path first goes somewhat steeper over stone steps and rocky fields to Dammastäfeli and up to the Dammahütte. The Dammahütte lies at the foot of the Damma range with the Dammastock, the highest mountain in the canton of Uri at 3637 m above sea level, at the end of the Göschenertal valley.
