Brunnital

The Schächen Valley is the biking paradise in the Uri holiday region. This tour takes you from the historic village of Altdorf, through Tell's homeland, into the Brunni Valley nestled between steep rock walls near Unterschächen.

Along the rushing Schächenbach stream, you will discover the typical scattered settlements of the Schächen Valley. A first coffee break is recommended in Unterschächen, in one of the cozy inns. As you ride into the Brunni Valley, a fantastic view opens up onto Gross Ruchen, the largest limestone rock face in Europe. Through picturesque coniferous forests, you follow the natural road via Rüti to Alp Brunni. The path gently ascends via Nider Lammerbach, past the charming Brunni Chapel, up to the Trogen Alp. At the mountain hut, you can enjoy, in addition to the idyllic view, fine alpine cheese and a genuine Schächental coffee.

The return journey takes the old track along Hinterschächen. Through species-rich flower meadows and colorful forest sections, you reach the Lauwi homestead, which features lovingly carved wild animals around the hut. Passing the bath chapel, nestled between the steep rock walls of the Brunni Valley, you reach Unterschächen. From here, you take the descent via the Klausen road back to Altdorf.
