We meet in Andermatt at the train station and walk through Andermatt to the starting point of this snowshoe hike.
The circular tour starts at the Andermatt village bridge and leads in the direction of Unteralptal to Mettlen. This is the highest point of the tour and also its turning point; a good place for a short stop. From here you have a view of the Gurschenbach icefall. On the way back, you cross the Gurschen valley descent and pass the Brunnen Schützenhaus. Here it is worth taking a look down into the valley: the view extends as far as Hospental and the Schöllenen. Pass the Mariahilf Chapel on the way back to the starting point.
