Golfclub Sedrun

High in the Swiss Alps, Sedrun sits at roughly 1,450 meters elevation in the Surselva region of Graubünden — a valley long defined by the Vorderrhein river, traditional Romansh culture, and the kind of mountain scenery that stops you mid-swing. The village is best known as the surface point above the Gotthard Base Tunnel, the world's longest railway tunnel, and as a winter ski destination, but the summer months reveal a quieter, genuinely alpine golfing experience that rewards those willing to make the journey up into the mountains.

Altitude golf in Switzerland plays differently. The ball travels farther in the thinner air, approaches to greens demand careful judgment, and the terrain invariably means uneven lies, blind shots, and yardages that feel deceptive against vast mountain backdrops. A course like Sedrun belongs to a tradition of high-altitude Swiss layouts that exist as much for the landscape as the golf — places where a round is inseparable from the broader experience of being in the Alps.

For visitors, Sedrun is accessible by the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn railway from Andermatt or Disentis, making it genuinely reachable without a car. Expect classic alpine conditions: cooler temperatures even in July, occasional afternoon thunderstorms, and a season that typically runs from early summer through September.
