1
Verchehrshuus Start

The Verkehrshaus is a perfect meeting point because it is large enough so you will find space to comfortable meet up and it is far outside the city so you won't cause any traffic, which is very important as I live there. thankyouverymuch.

Vetznau Stop

One of the most beautiful villages of Switzerland. Its location with its palm-trees, tight roads nested between the mountain-cliff and the lake gives it an irresistable Ticino flare but without the reckless drivers.

22 km · 35min from Verchehrshuus
3
Oberi Naas Stop

From the "oberi Naas" you have a perfect view onto the "onteri Naas" across the Lake. The "onteri Naas" is also where the "Réduit National" begins. Everything north of here would have been ceded to the Nazis in case of an invastion and the fight would have begun here. As such, the entire mountain is filled with bunkers and gun stations. If you look closely, you can even see some.

4
Schwyz Stop

The Capital of the Canton of Schwyz, it is a beautiful historical city. Schwyz is also where "Schwiiz" (How Switzerland is called in the german speaking part) gets its name from and Schwyz, the Canton, is one of the three founding members of the old Confederacy in 1291.

6
Brögg Sihlsee Stop

The Bridge offers a georgeous view over the lake. It also marks the beginning of the more alpine part of the route

4.7 km · 5min from Sihlsee
7
Klönertal Stop

The Klönertal is one of the most georgeous places in Switzerland and I say that knowing it is Part of Glarus and not Uri, where I come from. The twisty mountain roads offer a fantastic driving experience. And the moment that the forest stops and you get to see down onto the Klönersee will be a breathtaking reveal that you will remember.

8
Ürnerbode Stop

The Urnerboden is the largest producer of alpine cheese. Take a break, buy some cheese and enjoy the alpine village. It is a very sleepy and otherwise unremarkable vilage, but it is where I come from and this is my route, so it stays in.

Altdorf Destination

Altdorf is the Capital of the Kanton Uri, itself another founding member of the old confederacy in 1291. It is the crossroad between Central Switzerland and Ticino, the italian speaking Part of Switzerland. Its Location is unbelievably pretty sittuated between the mountains and the lake, but the brutalistic concrete construction of the past decades ruin the century-old flare of the town in my opinion. Definitely worth a stop and a view.
