From Andermatt to Grimselhospiz

In the area around Andermatt, a municipality in the canton of Uri in Switzerland, there are five Alpine Pass classics: the Susten, Grimsel, Nufen, Gotthard and Furka Passes. Each one is an adventure in itself; taken all together though they are something much more special.Before driving up the Susten Pass, you should first be on the look-out for the Devil's Stone. This is located in the Schöllenschlucht Gorge underneath the Devil's Bridge and, according to legend, was thrown there by Lucifer himself. The story goes that when the locals had failed once again to build a bridge over the deep gorge, one of them called out: "Do sell der Tyfel e Brigg bue!" meaning: "Let the devil build a bridge here!". Barely had he said the words when who should appear before the terrified people but the Devil himself! He suggested a pact: he would build the bridge in return for the soul of the first person to cross it.When the bridge was finally built, the clever Swiss however did not send a person over the bridge, instead they chased a goat across. Angered by this trick, Satan threw a rock the size of a house towards the bridge, but missed and thus created another monument in the region: the Devil's Stone.The rest of the route is just as rich in sights and stories. From the Rhône Glacier with its famous Hotel Belvédère, known around the world from the James Bond film "Goldfinger", and the steepest funicular in the world on the Grimsel Pass, to the Gotthard Pass, a veritable miracle of Swiss road construction
