Niederbauen, Central Switzerland

A night above Lake Uri

From Bauen on Lake Uri steeply up towards Niederbauen Kulm: turquoise water below, cows on the alp and a tent under a tarp for the night.

View over Lake Lucerne and the mountains

What to expect

  1. More than 800 m of climbing in just 10 km
  2. Sunset over the peaks around Lake Uri
  3. A night in the tent, cows at the door in the morning

Narrow, partly steep paths. Sure-footedness needed.
