Lolenpass - Trail

Our route starts very relaxed, first with an easy descent along the pass road and later on a high-level trail along the eastern flank of the Pazzolastock. On a forest road, we cover the final stretch to the Maighel hut. Along the way we enjoy the Plidutscha plain, the first crossing of the very young Rhine, and small clear blue mountain lakes. At the hut, we really relax on the terrace.

Soon we take on the final 150 meters in altitude to Lolenpass and reach a water-rich and mossy plain that gently slopes down to the Unteralptal. Then we continue down to an alp and shortly afterwards reach the phenomenal hairpin bends for the final descent. We are sent back and forth a total of 48 times until we reach the valley floor.

On the alp road to Andermatt, it is a matter of perseverance. The Matterhorn Gotthard Railway takes us back to the starting point at Oberalppass.

Snack at the Maighel hut highly recommended. Homemade fruitcake.

The route is more athletic in the opposite direction.

We follow the marked hiking trail from Oberalppass to the Maighel hut. After the descent from the Maighel hut, the signposts on the plain point us in the right direction. The hiking trail to Lolenpass (Pass Tagliola) is signposted. As soon as we reach the road in the Unteralptal, we keep right towards Andermatt
