Andermatt


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
Train from Realp to Oberwald. It would be good to check the schedule as the train does not run all year.
