The Rhine Cycle Path officially begins in Andermatt. The road to the pass is 10 km long and overcomes 600 m. The inclines are moderate and can be done well even with non-e-bikes and luggage. Beyond the Oberalp Pass, a wonderful long descent into the Vorderheintal to Disentis / Sedrun awaits

From Disentis up to the pass. A visit to the chapels along the way is recommended!

The Oberalp Pass is a very special pass because it is the location of a lighthouse with a beacon - in the middle of the Alps.
