Goschenen

The Reuss shapes the setting of Göschenen — its narrow Alpine valley has long funnelled travel between central Switzerland and the Gotthard Pass. The village stands beside the Schöllenen Gorge, the steep ravine leading towards Andermatt, where the historic Devil’s Bridge route crosses the river. Göschenen is also the northern portal settlement for the original Gotthard railway tunnel, opened in 1882, an engineering milestone linking railways across the Alps. Road and rail corridors still give this compact Uri community a distinctly transit-oriented character, while side valleys and mountain slopes begin close to its streets.
