Description

Hike from source to source and stay overnight directly along the route: The Four-Sources-Route in the Gotthard region allows you to explore the area where four rivers originate in five day stages. Experience the water divide and weather divide of Europe on the Four-Sources-Route. In the legendary Gotthard massif, you hike to the four sources of the Rhine, Reuss, Ticino, and Rhone, which flow in all four directions. The alpine hiking trail is divided into five day stages.

The 5th and final stage of the multi-day hike leads from Obergoms to the Rhone source. The stage leads from Obergesteln via Oberwald, Gletsch, and Muttbach up to the Furkapass and from there to a viewpoint overlooking the Rhone Glacier. The source of the Rhone is viewed from a distance.
