About the Resort
About Andermatt
Andermatt is a fascinating blend of a traditional Swiss mountain village and a highly developed modern luxury destination. Nestled in the Urseren Valley in Central Switzerland, it offers dramatic scenery and a historically significant position at the crossroads of three major Alpine passes. Recent massive investments have transformed the resort, introducing world-class hotels like The Chedi and seamlessly connecting the ski areas to Sedrun and Disentis.
The Resort
The resort is split into two distinct skiing personalities. The towering Gemsstock is a legendary off-piste playground, offering steep, north-facing descents and deep powder bowls that attract expert skiers and freeriders from around the globe. Across the valley, the sun-drenched Nätschen and Gütsch mountains provide wide, beautifully groomed pistes perfect for families and intermediate cruisers.
Combined as the SkiArena Andermatt-Sedrun-Disentis, the region offers 180km of connected pistes and an ultra-modern lift infrastructure. With its reliable snow record, spectacular high-alpine dining, and authentic Swiss charm, Andermatt appeals equally to hardcore powder hounds and luxury-seeking winter holidaymakers.
On the Mountain
Andermatt offers a remarkable duality: the Gemsstock provides fierce, north-facing slopes and endless freeride terrain, while the Gütsch-Oberalp area offers sunny, gentle cruising. The connection to Sedrun and Disentis creates a massive ski domain with ultra-modern lifts and diverse terrain for all abilities.
