Oberalp / Andermatt

Oberalp Pass (2044 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps connecting the cantons of Graubünden and Uri between Disentis and Andermatt.
The public road that crosses the pass is closed in winter, but the Furka-Oberalp railway line, now part of the Matterhorn-Gotthard-Bahn, runs year round and provides a limited shuttle for cars in winter (reservation required). When the road closes depends on snowfall and varies between the end of October and the beginning of December. The road opens again in spring, usually by the end of April but sometimes not until mid May.
In winter, a ski area extends to the Graubünden side, connecting the pass well into the Tujetsch territory to Dieni, near Rueras.


Der Oberalppass verbindet die beiden Schweizer Ortschaften Disentis/Mustér in der Surselva im Kanton Graubünden mit Andermatt im Urserental im Kanton Uri.
Die Passhöhe liegt auf 2'044 m ü. M. im Gemeindegebiet von Tujetsch. Unmittelbar westlich der Passhöhe liegt der leicht angestaute Oberalpsee.
