Andermatt
A long kept secret in the Swiss Alps, Andermatt offers travellers an irresistible blend of authentic charm, world class skiing, and understated exclusivity. With its picturesque village, exceptional mountain terrain, and one of the finest 5-star hotels in the Alps, Andermatt is an excellent choice for your next luxury ski holiday.
As the largest of the three villages in the Ursern Valley, Andermatt has earned its reputation as a premier ski destination with a strong snow record that ensures reliable conditions from November through late April, making it ideal for both early and late season trips.
The Nätschen side of the valley and the linked Sedrun area are perfect for beginners and intermediates, with quiet slopes and gentle blue and red runs that suit mixed ability groups beautifully. On the other side, Gemsstock mountain is legendary among off piste enthusiasts, delivering some of Europe’s most impressive back country terrain. Together, the area offers visitors plenty of variety with more than 120km of groomed pistes.
Wandering Andermatt’s cobbled streets, guests will discover charming historic details at every turn, traditional chalets, a folk museum, a centuries old church, and a river winding through the village. Recent developments have been designed with sensitivity, blending contemporary elegance with the timeless atmosphere of the old town.
The village has become something of a cultural hotspot too, thanks to the Andermatt Concert Hall, which hosts classical concerts, festivals, and comedy nights throughout the winter. Non-skiers can enjoy horse drawn sleigh rides, curling, ice skating, snowshoeing, and indulgent spa experiences, particularly at the renowned Chedi Andermatt Hotel.
Après ski here is more refined, with cosy wine bars, stylish cocktail lounges, and fireside venues offering polished take on post ski relaxation. On the mountain there are several sun drenched terraces welcoming those in search of music and a well earned beer. Skiers exploring the wider area will also find après options in neighbouring Sedrun, with regular mountain trains connecting guests back to Andermatt after.
