Planning a Trip

Getting There

Several daily trains make the 27-minute trip to Altdorf from the region's biggest railway junction, Arth-Goldau, on their way south to Chiasso and eventually Milan. Call tel. 0900/300-300 for rail schedules.

The bus routes coming into Altdorf connect the town with mountain hamlets, which usually have no railway junctions of their own. In the summer a handful of buses connect it with Zurich's Hauptbahnhof, sometimes with a transfer in Flüelen. Travel time from Zurich is about 1 1/2 hours. For bus schedules and information, call tel. 0900/300-300.

If you're driving from Brunnen on Lake Lucerne, continue south along N4.

Visitor Information

The Altdorf Tourist Office (tel. 041/872-04-50; www.altdorftourismus.ch) is open Monday to Saturday from 9 to 11:30am and Monday to Friday 1:30 to 5:30pm.
