If you visit the canton of Uri, you will discover a wide variety of exhibitions. Landscape, cultural sites, museums and paths form a unity in this place. They have characterised the culture of this canton from early on, as simultaneous to the growing importance of the Gotthard pass a vivid commercial and cultural life has been developing between the North and the South.

Take your time. Far away from the transit route as well as in the areas right outside of the museum doors there is a lot to discover: The churchly and secular sites of art and culture, the cultural research laboratories on the mountain passes, the impressive trails that lead through the valleys and which are often dedicated to certain themes, around the lake and on the way to the Gotthard, the panorama circuit which guides you to rare species of fauna and flora, the exceptional crystal and mineral realm that Uri is a representative of.

And in bad weather conditions, numerous galleries and museums invite you to a visit. All this is part of the vibrant cultural life on the foot of the Gotthard mountain!
