This popular holiday destination at the foot of the Gotthard massif has so much to offer, from the mild southern shores of Lake Uri with its picturesque villages – many under preservation orders – to romantically wild valleys, idyllic alpine lakes and the gleaming snowfields of majestic 3000 m peaks.

The original locations featured in the legend of Swiss freedom hero Wilhelm Tell are still very much in evidence in Uri, ensuring a fascinating journey of discovery. The passenger boats plying Lake Uri ferry you to the historical sites of Tell history, including the Schiller Stone, the Rütli Meadow and the Tell Chapel. After a typical 'Tell meal' the journey continues to Bürglen with a visit to the Tell Museum and the Tell monument in Altdorf. Uri is also a paradise of aerial cable cars – 39 within a small area. The family-friendly hiking region offers everything in both summer and winter, including well-maintained hiking trails, magnificent views, idyllic resting places and mountain inns.
