Spiringen

Spiringen has served as a farming community in Uri’s Schächental since the Middle Ages. It stands beside the Schächen, a mountain river descending through the valley to Altdorf, where it joins the Reuss. Alpine pastures and sharply rising slopes define the area, while the road through the village climbs towards the Klausen Pass, the historic crossing into the canton of Glarus. This route also forms part of the Klausenrennen course, the celebrated mountain motor race first held in 1922. Seasonal grazing remains an important part of life in this high-valley community.
