Andermatt
Gasthaus zum Sternen
The
hotel is near the historical Devil's Bridge on what for
centuries was the main trading route across the Alps. The wood-panelled bedrooms in the friendly Swiss hotel are
bright and comfortable. 
Regional specialities such as Urner Rösti are served in the in-house restaurant - must try - very authentic. After a fire
destroyed much of the property a few years ago, it was rebuilt
in the traditional Swiss style.
About Andermatt
The ancient Swiss
town lies at the centre of four key Alpine passes: the Gotthard Pass
to
southern Switzerland, the Göscheneralp Pass to north-central
Switzerland,
the stunning Furka Pass to the Rhone Valley in the west,
and
the Oberalp Pass to the Rhine Valley. Many gorgeous Alpine drives
of
various length and difficulty can be taken from Andermatt. A relatively
unchallenging
yet scenic excursion is the three-pass panoramic drive
around
the Rhone Glacier, either in your own car or in one of the yellow
Post
buses.
A truly unforgettable experience is a ride on the Furka Steam
A truly unforgettable experience is a ride on the Furka Steam
Train from Realp to Oberwald. It would be good to check the schedule as the train does not run all year.
