    The ViaUrschweiz is a multi-stage panoramic cultural trail that traces the fjord-like shores of Lake Uri, climbs through wild hay landscapes and alpine farms, and crosses the Hinter Jochli before descending via the Risleten Gorge to Emmetten. Along the way it passes the Rütli meadow, the Brennwald Reserve, and the sun terrace of Alp Gitschenen, threading through the cradle of Switzerland alongside raging waterfalls and mighty mountain panoramas.

In summer, around 200 cattle graze the vast alpine pastures along the way, while the Haghütte below produces cheese during the alpine season.
