They are unique and beautiful even then, but the path to them is very difficult for less experienced hikers.

Beautiful circular hike in the Gotthard region. The paths are good, sure-footedness is not a problem. Very warm today, and flowers galore. The colors of the lakes are exciting
The almost obligatory coffee stop should not be missing Ospizo San Gottardo. The only place on the tour where there is something to eat and drink. So take everything with you in your backpack. Still got on the track after a missed turn. See as far as the eye can see, beautiful! The level of difficulty may be classified below medium (T2 -T3)
From Lake Orsino go right up the slope, no way, then follow the Steinmanndli to the left at the top.
In this mystical landscape you go from one little soul to the next. Part of the path also leads over the 4-Quellen-Weg. A scree field is crossed with an impressive paved path. The path is well marked and if you look closely you can always spot marmots. A hike that I will definitely do again 😍😀!!
We walked the tour against the recommended hiking direction; highly recommended. The gift of beauty in the "barren" and yet incredibly rich nature delights every hiker's heart. Please allow more time for a swim in the cool mountain lakes. ♡♡♡
Beautiful ride to do especially for the fact that there is a lot of water ... with two dogs it is essential. Undemanding tour with beautiful views.
Beautiful tour. Can be done in both directions😀
I'm out hiking again after a long time. Years ago, I got so into biking that I gave up hiking. Biking is just more fun😀. This weekend I've laced up my hiking boots again. The circular hike from the Gotthard Pass leads past various small lakes, isn't too difficult and is varied. It was fun.
