Of all the places I know, this is the dearest and most interesting to me.
Impressive landscape
People come to Andermatt and are fascinated by the rugged beauty of the mountain scenery in the Ursern Valley. Many of them return time and again, some stay forever. “Of all the places I know, this is the dearest and most interesting to me,” wrote Johann Wolfgang von Goethe about Andermatt and the Ursern Valley some 250 years ago.
Long history
But many centuries before that, Andermatt was visited by shepherds from Lombardy, settlers from Valais, and friars from Grisons. Later visitors included a Russian general named Suworow with his army, Queen Victoria of England, and James Bond portrayer Sean Connery.
