Hiking holidays Furka mountain trail
Hiking: Gommer und Furka Höhenweg
This hike is an adventure of rock and ice. The Furka mountain trail takes you past the Rhone Glacier in the Gotthard mountains. You cross the Urserental and reach the mountain village of Andermatt after some eventful days. 
Arrival to Oberwald
Oberwald – Tiefenbach
You can cut short this difficult stage if desired using public transport. The Furka mountain trail first takes you up to Gletsch, where the innumerable roads wind up to the Grimsel Pass. Further up on the Furka Pass, you can visit the nearby Rhone glacier and hike to the village of Tiefenbach.
Tiefenbach – Andermatt
Pleasant hike on Urschner mountain trail along the rocky south-eastern slopes above Urserental. Views down to Realp and Hospental, the Pass road and historic Furka steam train. Along the way you can see small lakes, alpine flowers, mountain streams and jagged cliffs. Individual departure once you arrive in Andermatt.

The tough ascent to the Furkapass require good basic fitness. The paths are well developed and easy to walk on – surefootedness is nevertheless necessary.
