Via Son Giachen: Sedrun - Amsteg

This stage of the Via Son Giachen is one of the most demanding alpine sections, where it is useful to study the weather forecast well the evening before. The only base (food, overnight stays) is the SAC Etzlihütte, which is located a good 1 km behind the Mittelplatten pass crossing. The section from this hut to Amsteg is also easy on the legs, as Amsteg in the Uri Reuss Valley is much lower than Sedrun in the Surselva. The Etzlihütte is therefore a predestined place to rest or  spend the night.

 After the start in Sedrun, we cross via Camischolas and Mila into Val Mila. There we follow the stream northwards until it goes relatively steeply up from Alp Mila to the pass crossing called Mittelplatten. After the top of the pass, the sloping part follows to the Etzli hut.

After a meal or an overnight stay, rocky, steeper sections follow at the Gadmenstutz and below the Rossboden, but then it goes easily along the Etzlibach out of the valley. Only shortly before Amsteg (near Bristen) the deeply cut Bristenobel forces us to end the hike along the stream. The hiking trail runs on the right side of the ravine
