A beautiful circular hike around the golf course of the Hotel The Chedi, one of the largest golf courses in Europe. Striking are the differences between the naturally grown flower meadows on the slopes and the well-maintained greens of the golf course. 

From Hospental train station, the path goes up to Moos, then towards Andermatt to Mülibach. At Upper Bäz, we cross the "Meer" fen. Then we turn back along the Reuss heading west to Rüssenbiel and Tenndlen. Returning to the Reuss bank, we pass the ventilation shaft of the Gotthard road tunnel back to Hospental train station.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

The hike is especially appealing in spring during the awakening. Here and there snowfields still lie, the first plants push to the light. The power of nature is tangible.

Safety guidelines

None. The path is designed to be safe. However, we strongly recommend following the hiking trail and not leaving it.
