Andermatt train station
Highlight • Rest Area
Andermatt train station is a junction station of the Matterhorn-Gotthard-Bahn (MGB) in the north of the municipality of Andermatt in Uri. In addition to the regional trains of the MGB and the Glacier Express, the Andermatt train station is an important hub for the post bus routes over the surrounding Alpine passes. The station was opened during the First World War on July 11, 1917, when the Schöllenenbahn began operating, initially only in summer. Year-round operation began in 1925 and the main line of the Furka-Oberalp Railway from Disentis to Brig was opened the following year.
At the station there is a memorial plaque in honor of Ludwig Danioth, who fought for the construction of the Furka Base Tunnel as President of the Furka-Oberalp Railway and Council of States of the Canton of Uri.
The new pedestrian underpass on the east side of the station was opened at the end of 2017 together with the commissioning of the Gütsch-Express gondola lift in the ski arena. This connects the future main building on the north side with the valley station of the gondola lift and the village on the south side of the station.

Dorfstrasse Andermatt
Highlight • Settlement
During the stagecoach era, which lasted from 1830 to 1882, between 60,000 and 80,000 people traveled over the Gotthard every year. The square around the village bridge was then the hub and center of Andermatt. Imagine the busy activity in the few square meters. The stagecoaches used to stop here before tackling the Gotthard. The passengers were served a warm meal at the Hotel 3 Könige & Post while the postilion replaced the exhausted horses. There was often little time for their own food, so according to stories it was not uncommon for the postillions to cool down the soup that was too hot with wine

Ursern Town Hall, Andermatt
Highlight • Historical Site
The village fountain on the square in front of the town hall is said to have been created in 1581 by Johann II Schmid. Water used to have to be fetched from the well every day because there was no running water in the houses. In 1788 Giuseppe Croce created the large Rossbrunnen, an additional basin that has now disappeared. The octagonal basin of the village fountain bears the Urschner coat of arms on the front plate. The fountain stick with the bear dates from the 1950s. The bear is of great importance in the Ursern Valley. The oldest documented name of the valley is Ursaria. The name goes back to Roman origins and means something like bear valley.

Ursern Valley Museum / Suvorov Headquarters
Highlight • Historical Site
The Ursern Valley Museum is one of the most beautiful patrician buildings in the Ursern Valley. It was built in 1786 as a residential and commercial building by the later valley mayor Franz Dominik Nager and is said to have served as the headquarters of the Russian general Suworow on September 24th/25th, 1799. After a thorough renovation, the Ursern Valley Museum was opened in 1991. The museum has various permanent exhibitions. These include living culture around 1780/1800, the valley and cultural history, tourism, the military, alpine farming, alpine animals, pack animals, a natural history cabinet and the career of the skiing legend Bernhard Russi. Temporary exhibitions are also presented in the basement.

Historic village centre, Andermatt
Highlight • Historical Site
Due to the original settlement from the Bündner Oberland and Upper Valais, there is still evidence of an independent building culture in the Ursern Valley compared to the rest of the canton. The well-preserved village center is of national importance. Here you will find a whole series of stately houses in the rococo style. Typical for Andermatt are the traditional wooden houses on a brick substructure. Open arcades and stone staircases also characterize the village. The Gotthardstrasse, paved with natural stone and with lanes made of granite slabs in the middle, is reminiscent of the time when the legendary Gotthard mail coaches once rumbled through Andermatt

Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, Andermatt
Highlight • Religious Site
An avalanche claimed the lives of seven churchgoers near St. Kolumban on February 16, 1601. This may have been the impetus for the construction of a new parish church. The Hospental and Realp residents demanded a church in the middle of the valley. When Christoffel Christen agreed to provide the building land in Andermatt and donate the pulpit, the location was decided. The richly furnished parish church was built on it in 1602. It has a magnificent baroque interior and is the most important church in the valley
