Hike Leutschachhütte – Nidersee – Wichelpass

We take the train to Erstfeld in the canton of Uri, continue by bus to Amsteg and from there take a small cable car to the vicinity of Lake Arni. From there we climb on foot past the Leutschachhütte and the impressively turquoise-coloured Nidersee to the Wichelpass. At the top, we enjoy the view in a barren, lonely area. We then take the long descent through the Schindlachtal valley and return to the Armisee, from where we take the cable car, bus and train back to Zurich.
