Rhine Route: 1st stage Andermatt - Disentis

The Rhine Route follows the Alpine river from its source at Lake Toma on the Oberalp Pass to the large Rhine harbors of Basel. On varied paths, the ride takes you through many landscapes shaped by this powerful river over time. 

The cycling route starts in the tourist village of Andermatt at 1444 m.a.s.l. and leads up the Oberalp Pass road first to Nätschen. Here you have a fantastic view of the Ursern Valley surrounded by an impressive barren mountain landscape. At Nätschen, you then pass lush green meadows, streams, and the Oberalpsee reservoir. At the top, at the Oberalp Pass, the lake invites you to cool down before starting the descent to Disentis. On the ride down the winding pass road, you cycle along beautiful alpine scenery surrounded by an impressive mountain range. Passing many small idyllic villages, you then reach the monastic village of Disentis.
