The hike crosses impressive alpine landscapes that are home to a rich variety of plants and animals and bring the history of the Gotthard region to life. The third stage runs along Lago Lucendro to the source of the Reuss at the foot of the Lucendro Pass and continues on to a panoramic high-altitude hike above the Bedretto Valley. The destination is the Piansecco hut, where you can spend the night. The Gotthard massif is an important water reservoir, holding around seven per cent of Europe's water reserves.
