description: "Starting in Andermatt, you reach the smallest village in Switzerland on the flat first section via Hospental. Zumdorf, once and still the 'smallest village in Switzerland,' is a recognized Walser foundation and was formerly an independent curate chaplaincy with a chapel, chaplaincy, and school. Severely afflicted by avalanches, Zumdorf merged with Hospental in March 1851. After the village of Realp, you pass directly by the station of the nostalgic Furka mountain steam railway. With a bit of luck, you will see the old steam locomotives puffing and wheezing towards the Furka Pass. Now you ride on the old military road into the Witenwasserental. This lonely and idyllic valley is especially a true flower paradise in spring. The landscape protection area of regional importance also features a variety of small moor areas. The destination of the route is Oberstafel, located at 2221 m above sea level at the foot of Pizzo Lucendro. From Oberstafel via Realp, you roll back on the same route through the Ursern valley to Andermatt. The cozy restaurants and cafes in the popular winter sports resort invite you to a well-deserved break."
