Mountain hike from Andermatt to the crystal-clear Lutersee

The route takes us from the Andermatt train station, past the world-famous Hotel The Chedi Andermatt towards the Gemsstockbahn valley station. From "Neu-Andermatt" we hike through Alt-Andermatt to the Männli viewpoint, where there is a large wooden cross. We continue climbing across to the crystal-clear Lutersee, the highest point of the hike. It is worth taking a break at the fire pit there. A short high path leads to the middle station of the Gemsstockbahn on the Gurschen. Unfortunately, the lift does not operate during the summer season 2015. The hike through the protected forest, which shelters Andermatt from avalanches in winter, is always worthwhile. On the informative theme path, we learn how avalanche protection works.
