Grandiose tour variety in the high mountains

The canton in central Switzerland attracts hikers, mountaineers and climbing enthusiasts alike. A popular tour is the Alpenkranz Uri stage tour, which comprises a total of 39 stages. In addition, the circumnavigation of the Vierwälderstättersee, the Surenenwanderung and the 85 km Vier-Quellen-Weg, which connects the Reuss, Rhone, Rhine and Ticino rivers, are both scenic and challenging.

The Alpine Circle in Uri is a popular stage tour.

Climbing enthusiasts also get their money's worth in Uri. The Fürenwand via ferrata is particularly suitable for experienced climbers. But the rather unknown Bergsee via ferrata is also a challenge. It should also be done by experienced climbers. The Via Ferrata Diavolo, on the other hand, delights families with an affinity for climbing and inspires with imposing deep views into the gorge of the granite rocks of the Schöllenen. The via ferrata Zingelstöckli, which is about 300 m long, is considered moderately difficult to difficult.

The home of Wilhelm Tell

Uri is directly associated with William Tell; after all, Bürglein is considered the home town of the famous freedom fighter. A widely known event is the Tell plays in Altdorf, which take place every four years. Regional amateur actors stage the story of Wilhelm Tell over and over again and always relate it to current times.

An equally worthwhile attraction for Tell fans is the Tell Museum in Wattigwilerturm, which contains a comprehensive collection of documents and objects about the Swiss national hero. This is also the home of the open-air museum that leads to the most important Tell sites along the Vierwälderstättersee.
