Planned Route Notes
The route from St. Moritz to Andermatt crosses the central alpine spine one final time. Leaving the Engadin via the Julier Pass, the landscape transitions from wide, open high-valley expanses into tighter, more technical terrain. The ascent over Oberalp Pass marks the symbolic re-entry into the inner Alps, where roads narrow, air cools, and the environment becomes quieter and more elemental. Andermatt serves as the natural final alpine station. Positioned at the intersection of multiple historic passes—Furka, Gotthard, and Oberalp—it represents the geographic and psychological gateway back toward home. One last night here provides closure to the alpine phase of the journey, allowing rest, reflection, and preparation for the final descent out of the mountains and back to Schönenbuch.
