Hiking

If you're not up for the elevation gain but still want a great view, then this hike from the Oberalp Pass via Sedrun down to Disentis is the right choice. It starts at the highest point of the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway – the Oberalp Pass – and hikes along the sun-drenched slopes of the Surselva.

From the pass at over 2,000 meters, you'll still be fresh and energetic as you tackle the first and only significant climb of the tour, up to the Tiarms Pass. From there, it's worth taking a look back at Lake Oberalp and the surrounding area: wonderful alpine flora can be seen here.

You'll now hike downhill through many alpine pastures, passing numerous rustic mountain huts where you can stop for a break. If you or your hiking companions don't want to walk the entire route, the tour can easily be shortened, as the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway also serves the small villages along the way.

Lake Oberalp

Highlight • Lake

Here, where the world's highest lighthouse stands, begins the hiking trail to Lake Tomasee (2,344 meters), considered the source of the Rhine. From here, it's just 200 meters in elevation to the Badushütte, where you can relax and unwind.

You can also take a cable car from the Oberalp Pass to the Schneehüenerstock, which is over 2,600 meters high, and explore various hiking trails there.

And those who aren't so good on their feet can bring their fishing rod and fish in the lake or simply enjoy coffee and cake on a terrace.

Pass Tiarms

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The 2,148-meter-high Tiarms Pass takes you from the Oberalp Pass to the Val Val in the Surselva region (or vice versa).

At the summit, which is a good 100 meters above the Oberalp Pass, you also have a magnificent view of Lake Oberalp and the hustle and bustle below.

The pass is particularly worthwhile in summer, as a wide variety of alpine flora can be admired here.

Railroad viaduct near Bugnei

Highlight • Bridge

A secured pedestrian path runs along the bridge. The railings offer impressive views into the distance. It was built between 1913 and 1925.

Church of Maria Immaculata

Highlight • Religious Site

This pretty, white church stands in the small hamlet of Acletta. It's worth a visit, as the altarpiece is very impressive. It was painted by the artist Carlo Francesco Nuvolone; brochures in the church provide further information.
