The Four Springs Trail leads to the sources of the Rhine, Reuss, Ticino, and Rhône rivers, crosses contrasting landscapes in the Cantons of Uri, Grisons, Ticino, and Valais, and passes over six passes: Maighels, Sella, Gottardo, Lucendro, Novena, and Furka. The hike crosses wetlands with streams, ponds, small lakes, and peat bogs with typical vegetation. Above the tree line, there are long stretches where dwarf shrubs grow.
