Oberalp Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At the Oberalp Pass at 2,044 meters, not only is the obligatory "passport photo" waiting at the Oberalp Pass sign, but also the only lighthouse in the Alps. It comes from Rotterdam, where the original lighthouse can be found in the Maritime Museum, which once stood in Hoek van Holland, at the mouth of the Rhine into the North Sea - thus completing the circle from the source to the mouth.

Hairpin Turns on the Oberalp Pass

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Attention speed lovers: You can really let it rip on this descent. It's about three kilometers more or less straight, and you can easily reach 80 km/h.

But it doesn't hurt to take the descent slower, either. The view is breathtaking. And the final hairpin bends just before Andermatt are even more so.

Guex Monument at Gotthard Pass

Highlight • Monument

The Gotthard pass is located at an altitude of 2,106 meters and connects the canton of Ticino in Italian Switzerland with the canton of Uri in German-speaking Switzerland. Historically the San Gottardo pass was important for pilgrims who wanted to reach Rome: this, in fact, was one of the quickest passages to cross the Alps. At the summit there is the Piazza lake and the San Gottardo hospice, founded in 1237 .

Hospental village

Highlight • Settlement

Last turn before Hospental (departure). To Andermatt go here flat. Then the descent to Göschenen follows.

View of Andermatt

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view to Andermatt is inevitable when driving on the Oberalp Pass, unless you decide to take this trip in fog or rain. During the descent, it is advisable to enjoy the view with a short stop, otherwise you could approach the bottom of the valley too suddenly and in a ballistic manner.

Switchbacks on the Oberalp Pass

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The Oberalp Pass not only shines with the source of the Rhine and its beautiful route, especially in the upper section, but also with the Rhaetian Railway, which accompanies the route and always provides spectacular views.
