The Vier Quellen Weg, or Four Springs Trail, was introduced in Switzerland in 2012. This route crosses as many as four cantons: Uri, Graubünden, Ticino and Valais. The route markings are excellent, making it almost effortless to follow. Andermatt serves as the starting point and is easily accessible by car or public transport.

During the 5-day Vier Quellen Weg, the sources are so close together that you can see all four on foot. The Four Springs, Four Cantons, Four Nights: that is the Four Quellen Way, pre-eminently the most enjoyable multi-day mountain hike through the Gotthard Massif.
