Geography
Andermatt is in the Urseren valley, on the headwaters of the river Reuss and surrounded by the
Adula Alps 
. Immediately to the north of Andermatt, the Reuss flows through the steeply descending Schöllenen Gorge (or "the Schöllenen") to
Göschenen 
and further down the Reuss Valley to the north. It then flows, near Altdorf, into the Urnersee, part of Lake Lucerne.
