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 7-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 Vier Quellen Weg, pre-eminently the most enjoyable multi-day mountain hike through the Gotthard Massif.

On the first day of the Vier-Quellen-Weg you climb steeply to the source of the Rhine, the same river that ends 1233 kilometres away in the North Sea near Rotterdam, The Netherlands. You might have wondered, but this is precisely why you will find a replica of the Hoek van Holland Dutch lighthouse here. It is also the tallest lighthouse in the world. You continue hiking through a beautiful valley towards the Portgerensee at 2383 metres. This is followed by a gentle descent to the cosy Vermigelhütte, where you will spend the first night.
