The best viewpoints in the Ursern Valley: soak up the sun and enjoy the panorama

The Andermatt Holiday Region is known for its breathtaking views. All over the Ursern Valley, idyllic spots invite you to enjoy nature and unwind. We present four of our favourite places and reveal how you can secure your own personal panoramic bench with a bench sponsorship.

1. sun lounger Kirchberg

A real eye-catcher: the handmade sun lounger on Kirchberg towers over Andermatt and offers a unique panorama of the entire valley. You can reach it via the hiking trail from Andermatt towards Nätschen. Perfect for soaking up the sun and switching off.

A place to take a deep breath - surrounded by forest, with a view of the valley.

2. bench Gändli

The Gändli bench is located above Andermatt and offers a marvellous view of the village and the surrounding landscape. A staircase leads from the Restaurant Spycher to the hiking trail towards Nätschen. It takes around 15-20 minutes to reach this sunny spot - ideal for pausing and savouring the view.

It's easy to lose track of time here.

3. bench Chämleten

A short walk of around 15 minutes along the old Gotthard Pass road in Hospental takes you to the bench Chämleten - an idyllic vantage point with a view over the entire Ursern Valley and the striking tower of Hospental. Ideal for a short break, especially in spring when nature awakens.

A place for quiet thoughts and far-reaching views.

4. bench Realper Wald

You can reach the Realper Wald bench in around 20 minutes from Realp railway station. It is located on the edge of the forest with a wonderful view and is the perfect starting point for the Realp-Zumdorf circular trail - an insider tip for leisurely walks.

The bench in the Realp forest - a place for peace, far-reaching views and enjoying nature.
