With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Andermatt, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Lake Toma, Oberalp Pass and Gemsstock Cable Car. Locarno is another popular destination. It’s 19 miles away and home to a range of fun things to do. Piazza Grande, Monte Tamaro Cable Car and Monte Verità are only the start.
