Andeer is a municipality in the district of Hinterrhein in the Swisscanton of Graubünden. Neil and I hiked today on the Schams / Val Schons circuit in the valley. Beautiful day, it had snowed on the mountains last night.Around 1820, roads were built over the Splügen Pass and the San Bernardino Pass. When the railroad tunnels through the Alps were completed near the end of the 19th century, they reduced traffic through the region. Since the opening of the San Bernardino road tunnel in 1967, Andeer has once again been on a major thoroughfare.
