There is a wonderful mountain and valley view here at the Reuss waterfall, just before the Schöllenschlucht with the Devil's Bridge, which is why a parking lot for cars and a rest area with a fireplace and a barbecue and wood have been created here.

Currently a nice area, but soon comes the Andermatt SkiArena with a ski slope through this area. At the moment (summer 2018) a runway is blown up in this beautiful area :-(

In the Hintere Felli is the beautiful, somewhat demanding run #30, which is often closed due to the risk of avalanches. Then you can only get off-piste and EXTREMELY steep or you can take the gondola from Schneehuenerstock down to the Oberalp Pass.

Anyone who takes some time amidst the steep rock faces will experience the Gotthard myth up close. The Gotthardreuss rises at the Lucendro Pass, and after crossing Hospental it flows mostly near the old Gotthard Pass road, continuously taking in streams from both sides of the valley.
