Uri begins at the southern end of Lake Lucerne and extends up to the glaciers of the Gotthard massif. While some sunbathe by Lake Uri, others ski in Andermatt, just 30 minutes’ drive away. Canton Uri is also where stories and legends, such as the founding of Switzerland in 1291 or William Tell, emerged. Take part in the “Tatort Tell” outdoor detective game and track down William Tell, or marvel at masterpieces of modern history such as the Gotthard Base Tunnel.
