The Four Headwaters Trail leads to the sources of the Rhine, Reuss, Ticino and Rhône Rivers through richly contrasting landscapes in the cantons of Uri, Grisons, Ticino and Valais. The trail crosses over six passes: Maighels, Sella, Gotthard, Lucendro, Nufenen and Furka. The trek passes through various wetlands with streams, ponds, small lakes and bogs featuring typical vegetation. Longer stretches lie above the tree line, where mainly dwarf shrubs are found.

The third stage of the trail starts at the Gotthard Pass. The trail runs along Lake Lucendro to the source of the Reuss River located at the foot of the Lucendro Pass. After a long high-altitude panoramic hike above the Bedretto Valley, reach the Piansecco hut.
