From Göschenen you hike along the Göscheneralp to the reservoir and from there on to the Dammahüte.

You start in Göschenen and hike leisurely through the Göscheneralp past green meadows, rest areas, through forests and along the river. After the hike from Göschenen up to the dam, the southern route begins in the direction of the dam hut. This is the shorter route in terms of time and distance. The hiking trail runs south of the Göscheneralpsee, 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. Here you can treat yourself to a well-deserved rest. The southern and northern routes meet at the bridge. From this junction, the direct route initially leads somewhat steeper over stone steps and boulder fields to the Dammastäfeli and up to the Dammahütte. The Dammahütte lies at the foot of the Dammakette with the Dammastock, the highest mountain in Uri at 3637 m above sea level. M., at the very back of the Göscheneralptal.

Safety guidelines

Hikers should keep an eye on the weather forecast in advance, as parts of the hike are at over 2000 m above sea level and light snowfall can therefore occur in extreme cases.
