Route description
Göschenen - Berggasthaus Dammagletscher
From Göschenen train station (1107 m) follow the Gotthardstrasse into the village then continue straight past the power station and into Göschenertal. At Bitzi cross to the N side of the stream. Continue along the Göschenertal road to Horwen (1255 m). Cross back south of the stream and follow the old mountain path up to the footbridge at Lochstafel (1536 m). Cross the bridge and continue past Gwüest following the road to Berggasthaus Dammagletscher (1782 m; closed in winter). You can make a short cut from P. 1617 by climbing directly to the curve at P. 1663.
Berggasthaus Dammagletscher - Bergseehütte
Climb NW in the area of the summer path through some confusing terrain to the terrace "Auf dem Berg" (1951 m). Continue northwards, on less steep terrain east of the summer path, up to approx. 2300 m, where you will spot the large cross: pass to the west of this and gain the hut; steep cliffs to the south!
