Leaving Pontoresina, I moved on to the Anderimatt train station.

Anderimatt is a major transportation hub in Switzerland, having been a crossroads between east, west, north, and south since ancient times, and developed as a mountain inn town where merchants and travelers came and went.

It is also fed in four directions by water from the gushing Alps: the Rhine, the Reuss, the Ticino, and the Rhone. The tourist attraction from the station is the famous "Teufelbrücke (Devil's Bridge)" over the valley of the Schöllenen Gorge Schöllenen, which I visited immediately, but I did not clearly know where it was. We returned to the train station and took a bus over the Furka Pass on a road that looked like the Iroha slope.

The driver was an experienced driver. Unlike in Japan, there are no forests, and I took a video while looking at the open mountainside.

In Fiesch, we stayed at a beautiful hotel that looked like something out of a movie. The view from the terrace was beautiful.

Hiking distance: 8.3 Km

Stayed at "Hotel Park" (one night)
