Haute Route in Uri

On a multi-day ski crossing from Andermatt to Engelberg.

Haute Route in Uri

The Uri Haute Route is one of the most impressive ski crossings in Switzerland. Over several days, we cross the heart of the Central Swiss Alps, from Andermatt to Engelberg, travelling through a high alpine landscape of glaciers, passes and striking peaks.
Every day brings new impressions: wide glaciers, varied ascents and long, enjoyable descents. On the way, we spend the night in cosy mountain huts, where we end the day together and gather new energy for the next stage. The tour requires a good level of fitness and safe off-piste skiing.
