The wind turbines on the Gütsch are an important energy source for the entire region. The wind education trail at the wind power plant on the Gütsch above Andermatt explains the different winds and provides an exciting insight into the ancient weather rules. The trail shows the importance of the sometimes bothersome wind, and hikers also learn a lot about cloud formations and the flora and fauna of the Gotthard region. The trail also teaches historical aspects and facts about energy generation. In addition, there is a fantastic view over various valleys and mountain ranges. With a lot of luck, you may also spot marmots.
