With endurance to Chinzig Chulm

The Chinzig Chulm has currently become an insider tip among bikers. Although crossed over 4000 years ago, the mountain pass only entered history with the passage of the Russian General Suvorov in 1799. Although the pass is directly accessible from both sides, this hike offers an endurance challenge and the ascent can be started from the Bisistal. Above the Schwarzenbach restaurant, a mountain road branches off to the right. On this road we reach the Alp Galtenäbnet, located at 1350 m and assigned to Uri during the border adjustment. With the chapel and huts, this small alpine village forms a picturesque scene on the moorland plateau. During the ascent, we leave the road and from the Stäfeli take the red-marked shepherd's path that leads us to Galtenäbnet.

The path to Rindermatt, roughly at the same elevation as Galtenäbnet, is very varied with a small mountain pass, a high-level path, and an impressive moor landscape. The views towards the Schwyz and Glarus side with Pfannenstock, Grisset, Bös Fulen, Glärnisch, and towards the Uri side with the Chaiserstock range and Uri Rotstock are noteworthy. Although an alpine road leads to Rindermatten, we follow the marked path to the Chinzig. There, a small sign at the signpost points out that the descent takes the Suvorov path. You have the option of going on the road or choosing the old path, which often runs near the Hüribach and passes springs and old settlement sites.

On the final stage from Liplisbüel down to Muotathal, it is the deeply eroded gorges of the Hüribach, the roaring waterfalls and glacial mills, as well as the mystical forest, that make you forget the fatigue of this long route.
