Andermatt: Andermatt Swiss Alps Golf Course
Andermatt Swiss Alps Golf Course straddles the Furkareuss in Uri, and its position in the broad Urseren valley has made it part of a high-Alpine corridor between Andermatt and Hospental. The 18-hole, par-72 course was designed by Kurt Rossknecht and opened in 2014. Its fairways occupy the valley floor beneath enclosing mountains, while the Furka, Gotthard and Oberalp passes connect this part of central Switzerland with neighbouring Alpine regions. Andermatt has held an important position at the meeting point of these pass routes for centuries; the course brings a contemporary sporting purpose to a landscape shaped by transport, grazing and mountain settlements.

Among Uri’s Alpine towns, Andermatt stands out for its position in the high Urseren valley, where the young Reuss runs between routes to the Gotthard, Furka and Oberalp passes. The settlement has long been shaped by trans-Alpine travel: the historic Gotthard route heads north through the Schöllenen Gorge, while the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn links Andermatt with Brig, Disentis and Göschenen. Ski slopes rise directly above the village, yet its defining character remains that of a mountain crossroads in central Switzerland.

The Reuss River and steep Alpine valleys shape much of Uri - they have long channelled transport, settlement and hydropower through this central Swiss canton. From Lake Lucerne at Flüelen, the main valley rises south towards the Gotthard Pass, one of Europe’s historic north-south routes. Altdorf, Uri’s cantonal capital, is closely associated with the William Tell tradition, while the Rütli meadow on the lakeshore is linked to the Federal Charter of 1291. Roads and railways in the Gotthard corridor still define Uri’s role within Switzerland, running between high slopes and narrow side valleys. Summer brings hiking and mountain travel, while winter lends the canton a quieter Alpine rhythm. Browse nearby webcams to discover further corners of Uri.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
