GTT Erstfeld - Bristen 1. Etappe

On the first day of our hike, we experience the Uri region from an elevated position, once we have reached the height of Schschwandi. We overlook the valley basin with its lively transit traffic on road and rails and we are happy to be able to travel on foot. We enjoy the slowness to the fullest, have time to look around, watch birds or study flowers more closely. From the Waldiberg we swing down to the valley in an open cable car.

The first ascent to Obers Schwandi can be made with a cable car. www.schwandibahn.ch

From Erstfeld we follow the signposted hiking trail (green sticker "Gotthard Tunnel Trail") to Unters Schwandi and Obers Schwandi. We follow the high trail to Kilchberg and on to Frentschenberg. Here we descend to the village of Bristen.
