This
tour is also known as the Urschner Haute Route. You will cross several top
around the village of Andermatt. From the Oberalppas, over the Gotthard, Furka
to Göschenen. This area is interesting but not very frequently visited by
backcountry skiers. This might be due to the long distance on the third day.
Also the difficulty SS (sehr schwierig) for the passage on the fifth day might
be a problem (consider a rope). But you have several alternatives.
From
the Albert-Heimhütte you can decent to Hospental instead of climbing the
difficult coll to reach the Göschener valley.
From
the Vermighelhütte you can return to Andermatt to take a train (3rd day).
From
the Rotondohütte you have several options for an interesting day tour.
For
the indication of the amount of altitude meters, distance and time the
assumption has been made that you will take a train on the 3rd day. It expects
that you can stay overnight in Refuge Furka as well.
The huts listed below will be visited during this tour. The Vermighelhütte is always accessible but the warden is only present in the weekend. You can click the link for additional information and check the availability of a warden as well. Refuge Furke could be completely closed so you might have to skip this hut!
