Stormy weather, a quiet pass, and my highest ascent set the stage for one of the most breathtaking hikes along the Via Alpina!

This summer I start my great adventure across Switzerland: hiking the Via Alpina green trail. The fourth stage of the Via Alpina hike is a long stretch from Altdorf to Engelberg. My path takes me across Surenenpass from canton Uri to canton Obwalden.
