Cycling day trip from Andermatt to Disentis

This route takes you from the alpine village of Andermatt to the historic town of Disentis, covering a challenging 34 km across the heart of the Swiss Alps. Starting out in Andermatt—famous as a crossroads of Swiss mountain passes and a hub for adventurers—you'll quickly find yourself in dramatic scenery, pedaling steadily upwards. The route peaks at over 2,000 meters, offering breathtaking views (and maybe a little breathlessness from the climb—expect around 1,300 meters of ascent!). 

Much of the journey is on paved roads, but be ready for some unpaved and gravel sections, particularly as you wind through the spectacular Oberalp Pass. Once you crest the pass, it's a rewarding descent toward Disentis, where the impressive Benedictine monastery marks your finish. Disentis is steeped in history and makes a great place to relax after a ride through the high mountains. Perfect for those looking for a true alpine adventure—just make sure your brakes and legs are ready!
