Altdorf

Altdorf combines the functions of Uri’s cantonal centre with an Alpine setting, reflecting its position in the Reuss valley near Lake Lucerne. The town has long been associated with the route towards the Gotthard Pass, one of Switzerland’s historic north–south crossings. At its centre, the Tell Monument recalls the William Tell legend, which places the famous apple-shot episode in Altdorf; the bronze sculpture was unveiled in 1895. Mountains rise close to the settled valley floor, while the Reuss carries water north towards Lake Lucerne.
