Four-Sources Route: Stage 2 Over Piz Giübin to Gotthard Pass

Hike from source to source and stay overnight 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 the 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 cardinal directions. The alpine hiking trail is divided into five daily stages.

The second stage starts at the Vermigel Hut and ends at Gotthard Pass. It leads to the highest point of the Four-Sources route, Piz Giübin (2776 m). The path up is steep and requires surefootedness. However, the effort is absolutely worth it as you are rewarded at the top with a unique view. From there it goes down past the blue Lake Sella to the historic Gotthard Pass.
