Andermatt is a municipality
in the canton of Uri in Switzerland. With Realp and Hospental, it is located in
the Urseren valley, 22 km south of Altdorf. Andermatt serves as a
crossroads between southern Switzerland and the North as well as between
eastern Switzerland i.e. Graubunden and Western Switzerland, i.e. Valais, Bern
and the Swiss Romande. The town is thus connected by four Alpine passes: the Oberalp
Pass (2,044 m.) to the East, the St. Gotthard Pass (2,106 m.) to the
South, the Furka Pass ( 2,436 m.) to the West, as well as the Göschenertal
Pass (1,418 m.) to the North. The Schollenen Gorge in the Reuss Valley
between Andermatt and Goschenen is the location of the infamous Devil's Bridge.
