Unterschachen

Unterschächen sits in the Schächen valley in Switzerland’s canton of Uri, where the Schächen River descends from the Klausen Pass through a steep Alpine corridor. The settlement stands on the approach to the 1,948-metre pass linking Uri with the canton of Glarus, a route long used to cross this part of the Alps. Pastures, farm buildings and wooded slopes shape the valley floor, while higher ground leads into rugged mountain terrain. The historic Klausen Race, first held in 1922, made this mountain road known internationally in motorsport.
