How to get there	There is a warning sign when you leave Andermatt (1447m) and begin the western climb that the road is steep. Funny that they only have such warnings where there is nothing to be afraid of – it is at most 6-7% on average. There is one short steeper section. From Disentis/Mustér (1130m) to the east it is only the last 8 km (out of 20 km) that are steep and then only a little steeper than from Andermatt.
Other comments	Andermatt is a nice and popular little town located between three high passes. It attracts many tourists passing by. The Oberalppass is the easiest of the high passes around the town. Everything is looking very perfect and the scenery on the way to the pass reminds me of a hobby I had as young – playing with model trains and building landscapes (was very bad on that) – I called this place the ’Märklinlandschaft’ as the landscape looks like a photo on a train kit from Märklin with red trains on green pastures (just like here). The valley on the east side has many small villages with plenty of lodging (rooms), and very affordable (especially in Disentis). [CH-UR-2044c]
