Experiences in Andermatt - Urserntal

William Tell's son, Walterli, has gone missing. He should be picking up the birthday cake for his mother, Hedwig, and helping with the decorations for the party. Can the party be saved? We need you to find him!

The sophisticated Gütsch mountain restaurant is nestled on a small plateau near the peaks that soar above Andermatt. Here, guests can enjoy a seemingly endless view of the central Alps, where chef Markus Neff (16 Gault Millau points, 1 Michelin star) cultivates his elegantly clear-sighted cuisine “Between mountain and valley”. An exclusive 3-course menu and breathtaking views await you. A very special gourmet experience.

Climb up 1,500m in altitude from Andermatt to the Gemsstock, at almost 3,000m above sea level. From this vantage point that is truly in the heart of the Swiss Alps, you have all-round views sweeping across half of Switzerland.

The Furka Cogwheel Steam Railway takes visitors back to the golden age of steam railways in Switzerland.

Away from the motorway and up into the wild - the unspoilt mountain landscapes of the Urner side valleys on the Gotthard Massif have retained their original charm.

Operated by the Südostbahn railway company, the modern Treno Gottardo travels from Zurich, Basel, Lucerne or Locarno to Andermatt. From there, you will take the Gütsch-Express to the middle station, where you can enjoy coffee and croissants at the Matti family restaurant. Afterwards, you will continue on towards Gütsch by gondola and then hike to the Schneehüenerstock, passing the breathtaking Lutersee mountain lake on the way.

The Schöllenen Gorge is probably the most legendary section of the historic Gotthard route. On the Devil's Bridge over the roaring Reuss, you can get an idea of how hard and dangerous the path across the Alps once was.

The waterway is an educational and adventure trail dealing with various topics related to water.

The huge granite rock face that welcomes visitors to this area is the Gotthard Massif.

The Gütsch-Express, which was opened in 2017, takes just eight minutes to reach its destination. The monocable circulating ropeway not only offers picturesque views but is also able to transport 2,400 people per hour from Andermatt to the Gütsch.

A truly spectacular route in the granite rocks of the Schöllenen gorge, albeit with plenty of grass in between. There are fascinating views down into the wild gorge and its roads.

The outdoor “Tatort Tell“ game leads through the mountain and lake landscapes of fabled URI - as big and small get closer to national heroes in a playful way - with modern production technology on a journey through Tell’s village of Bürglen, central Altdorf point and famous Tellsplatte on the lake of URI.
