View: When thinking of Göschenen in Switzerland, most people associate the name with the construction of the Gotthard tunnel, which was built from 1972 to 1880. In Göschenen, a large part of the construction workers lived under difficult conditions until the railway tunnel was finished. In Göschenen, a monument in the cemetery commemorates the victims of the tunnel construction. Hardly anyone has heard of the beautiful Göscheneralp or the Göscheneralp Valley. The Göscheneralp is an alpine settlement in the municipality of Göschenen in the canton of Uri in Switzerland. The hamlet of Gwuest also belongs to the high-altitude settlement. Göscheneralp is located about nine kilometers west of the valley village of Göschenen. The Chelenalp connects to the Göscheneralp to the north-west. The Voralp Valley is also nearby. After the construction of the dam for the Göscheneralpsee, the alp was flooded and the residents moved to Gwuest, where nearby at 1585 m.a.s.l. the Campsite Mattli as well as the Restaurant Göscheneralp are located. At the reservoir above Gwuest there is another restaurant, the Dammagletscher mountain inn, which offers a magnificent view of the mountains around the lake. Source Wikipedia
