The Altdorf–Flüelen tramway (German: Strassenbahn Altdorf–Flüelen, AF) was a metre gauge electric tramway in the Swiss canton of Uri. It linked the town of Altdorf with Flüelen, terminating adjacent to Flüelen station on the Gotthard railway.[1] [2]

The only visible remains of line is the tram depot, on the outskirts of Altdorf. After closure of the tramway, this was used as a bus depot by the Auto AG Uri until they moved to new premises in 2009.[2] [3]
