Pazolastock (Oberalp Pass - Pazolastock - Andermatt)
The ascent starts at Oberalp Pass Station on a well-marked path towards Pazolastock. Along the way, there is a stunning view of Survela, the mountains around Gütsch, and the Ursern Valley. The last section leads along a narrow path along the ridge to the summit. There, hikers are rewarded with a wonderful panoramic view. On the way back, the same path along the ridge is taken to the Pazola Pass, where a path on the left leads to Andermatt. Then, the wider hiking trail runs on the west side to Nätschen Station and continues to Andermatt. Alternatively, you can take the same path back to the Oberalp Pass, which is a somewhat shorter distance.
