High alpine hike from Urnerboden to Klausenpass

At the port on Urnerboden, we first take the mountain cable car to Fisetengrad. Here we find ourselves on the one hand amidst the most beautiful alpine flora, on the other hand, we have wonderful views to the east, north, and west. On a wide path, we comfortably reach Gemsfairen, a large cattle alpine pasture. From here, the path becomes narrower. The stone-rich alpine meadows slowly turn into stony scree. In this glacier forefield, we find pioneering plants and completely different stones that testify to the complex geological history of this area.

On the left side appears a glacier lake with a glacier tongue. With luck, we experience ice breaking noisily into the lake. Above us, the Claridennorth face rises into the sky. Already at Claridenälpeli, it goes gently downhill again to the Klausenpass.

Up to Hotel Klausenpasshöhe, we cross Oberstafel of the largest cattle alpine pasture in Switzerland, Urnerboden. From the hotel's terrace, we enjoy the view to the west, where the sun sets behind Grossspannort, Brunnistock, and Urirotstock.
