Details

Let's hike in central Switzerland! We start in Flüelen and go up to Oberaxen. From there we follow the Wildheupfand to Eggberge (https://schweizmobil.ch/en/hiking-in-switzerland/route-587). Great views on lake Uri expect us! Be aware that the trail is narrow and steep, on wild-haying slopes. The places with a risk of falling are supposed to be well secured. The trail requires a good level of surefootedness.

Meeting point is in Zurich main station under the blue angel at 8.20 am.
