Andermatt Travel Guide: 56 reviews and 199 photos

140 km away from Zurich, 67 km from Lucerne, Andermatt caters to outdoors enthusiasth since it is the crossroads of 4 alpine passes: Grimsel, Susten, St Gothard, and Oberalp. Beautifully located, I had the pleasure to stop for a couple of hours before cycling to my campsite that evening.

Since motorcyles are subject to payment of road tax, they do technically own the road. As for hearing damage - grow up!

Fabulous page with brilliant photos. Well done that you cycled all the way. A pity about the motorcycles.

Wow, you rode a bicycle! Am thinking on passing through there on the way to Wallis but by train! Thanks for the introduction.
