Explore one of the most popular hiking and biking areas in the Uri vacation region. The Maderanertal - wild and romantic with rushing streams and cascading waterfalls. The destination of the tour is the historic SAC Hotel Maderanertal.

The first stage of your tour leads from Amsteg along the asphalt road to the village of Bristen. The road, which is partly carved into the rock, winds its way upwards in tight bends and allows you to gaze down into the valley time and again. After Bristen, you can relax on the flatter section to the Golzern cable car.
Following the Chärstelenbach stream, the natural road climbs steadily up to the cozy Lägni restaurant. The tour continues through forest and fragrant alpine meadows - always accompanied by the murmur of the stream. At the SAC Hotel Maderanertal, which dates back to the golden age of mountain guides, you will be rewarded with local hospitality and a fantastic view of the valley.
The way back takes you to Alp Butzli - don't miss out on a detour to the idyllic Butzli lake! A single trail with technically challenging passages takes you to Guferen and on to Alp Stössi with its excellent alpine cheese. Via Herenlimi you reach the valley station of the Golzern cable car again. At St. Anton, turn off in the direction of Vorder Ried and enjoy the attractive single trail towards Amsteg at the end.

Note
The tour is signposted throughout with no. 412.
