Latest Andermatt hotel reviews
balhannah Says: I was following the Bear trail, but even if I wasn't, Andermatt is quite a nice town to go for a walk.These are some sight's I saw............like the fast flowing, River Reuss passing through town, and alongside it, a sculpture of boy playing a Flute next to a water...
HADERLISBRUCKE - GOTTHARD PASS
balhannah Says: As you drive along the Gotthard Pass, you really need to watch for pull-off's, as this usually means there is something to see.We saw one and stopped, and I went for the short walk and found the notice about a nicely arched River Bridge in the Schollenen gorge . It was...
balhannah Says: The Gotthard pass was one of our most beautiful drives in Switzerland. It links the towns of Andermatt in Canton of Uri to Airolo in the Canton of Ticino.The first road over the pass was opened to car's in 1830, then Train's were able to cross the pass in 1882. 177 people...
balhannah Says: Andermatt is in the 'VALLEY OF THE BEAR'S"I don't know if these Bear's I found on the trail are permanent or not, but I had a very good time following the "Bear" trail. The Bear's were everywhere, some on verandah's, some hidden in the garden. They were painted differently,...

yumyum Says: This historical restaurant is situated next to the devil’s bridge. Nowadays it’s located on the “Franzosen Platz” or Frenchmen square. It has a big terrace if you want to sit outside in the warm season.The painting on the outer wall next to the Franzosen Platz sign...
Loading your car onto the train in Realp
yumyum Says: If you travel by car and wish to go to the canton of Wallis/Valais from from Andermatt, then you need to load it on a special car carriage in the village of Realp at the end of the Ursern valley. The train will take you through the Furka tunnel to Oberwald.Prices for a...
yumyum Says: The Glacier Express claims to be the slowest fast train in the world. It runs from St. Moritz to Zermatt taking in the best of the alps. If you want to ride on it, you have to pay an additional charge to your ticket of CHF 30.00 (in 2007). A seat reservation is highly...
yumyum Says: On your hike to the devil’s bridge you will see strange rock faces and wonder what they are. Such hidden things can be found all over the alps and date back to the second world war as well as the cold war when the Swiss felt threatened and built themselves withdrawal places...
LAAX to FLIMS - STOP 8 - ON ROUTE 19
balhannah Says: The Route 19 is full of surprises and changes of scenery. The 5kms between Laax and Flims is the home of the Rhine Gorge where some magnificent scenery is. We could see some of it from the road, but didn't have time to actually go into, and do some hiking.This is another...
balhannah Says: From Selva, we are heading to Disentis-Muster. Along the way, we saw a roadside Chapel, and I mean roadside! I wondered what they were like inside, so we stopped and I was able to have a look. I was quite surprised to see a scene with Jesus & Mary. There were many more small...
DISENTIS ABBEY - STOP 5 - ON ROUTE 19
balhannah Says: One of the small town's we stopped at on the Overalp Pass, was Disentis-Muster.Here was an enormous building which turned out to be Disentis Abbey.It is one of the oldest Benedictine monasteries in Switzerland, dating back to 720, its huge complex dates from 1696 to 1712....
CHURCH AT DISENTIS-MUSTER - STOP 7 - ON ROUTE 19
balhannah Says: I wish I could tell you the name of this Church, but I can't. I can tell you it is on one side of the Abbey, so I wonder if it is something to do with it.It is another beautiful Church inside, really stunning and quite unexpected.On the outside, it is painted white, and has...
VIA ALPSU - STOP 3 - ON ROUTE 19
balhannah Says: From the Lake which is high up, we follow the now named road "Via Alpsu." It is down hill all the way, and we can see the road as it winds its way down the Moutain side. Plenty of zig-zag's, good scenery and some Swiss Cow's with their Bell's on, before we finally come to...
OBERALPSEE - STOP 2 on ROUTE 19
balhannah Says: The Oberalpsee, a large Lake, was our next stop. We entered a long road tunnel which wasn't fully enclosed, and this is how we saw our first view of the Lake. Once out of the Tunnel, we were able to pull up for a look and to take some photo's.In May, the scenery was great!...
balhannah Says: From Andermatt, we wanted to head to Chur, so rather than go the long way around, we took Route 19, THE OVERALP PASS.This is another of those high Alpine Roads, [2044M] with many, many "S" Bend's and marvellous scenery most of the way. As the road is good, we had no worries...
DISENTIS ABBEY CHURCH -STOP 6 - ON ROUTE 19
balhannah Says: A must do, is to go inside the Abbey ChurchIt is big, it is beautiful!There are many painting's, and much detailed, delicate stucco work, really well done!I had a look at all of the 6 Altar's in this Church, and they are all worth a look. Many of the Altar's have a lot of...
yumyum Says: To the left of the Suworow monument by the devil’s bridge, there is the entrance to a famous climbing garden by the name of Diavolo. The rock face is 450 m high and it takes experienced climbers 90 minutes.For more information in German only, see link below.
yumyum Says: You can start various hikes at the railway station which is only a few meters from the tourist office. Hiking to the devil’s bridge and the Suworow monument takes only 20 minutes, but you may want to make a stop at the church of St. Kolumban while you’re at it. Make sure...
yumyum Says: The old center of Andermatt features many beautiful old buildings. So make sure you take a walk around. You will also find a fountain with a bear on top. The bear is on Andermatt’s coat of arms.
yumyum Says: The tourist information office is located around the corner from the railway station at the Gotthardstrasse 2. Behind the building along Gottardstrasse there is a kid’s playground. The phone no. is +41 (0)41 887 14 54 or www.andermatt.ch
