Oberalp Pass

The Oberalp pass connects the cantons of Uri and Grisons. The pass, which is located at 2,046 meters above sea level, has been open to vehicles since the mid-19th century.

At the top of the pass, there's an inn if you're short on food, as well as an information booth about the source of the Rhine, marked here with a model of the lighthouse that stood at the mouth of the Rhine into the North Sea until a few years ago. Furthermore, the border between Uri and Graubünden runs over the top of the pass. From Andermatt, there are 600 meters of elevation gain and nine hairpin bends to overcome, and from Disentis, a good 900 meters of elevation gain and nine hairpin bends.

Pleasant to drive on the very well-developed road!
From Andermatt to Disentis: a total of approx. 32 km ... 650 m uphill ... and then approx. 1000 m down from the top of the pass to Disentis! Wonderful!
