About Andermatt - Andermatt, Uri, Switzerland

Andermatt is spectacularly located at the crossroads of some of Switzerland's most striking alpine landscapes and has for decades been known as one of the Alps' most serious mountain areas. In winter, Gemsstock is the heart of the destination – an icon among seasoned skiers with steep north-facing slopes, reliable snow conditions, and access to some of Switzerland’s best freeride and off-piste routes. The area is particularly famous for its guided high alpine backcountry tours, where glaciers, open bowls, and long descents define the experience. Meanwhile, the connection to the SkiArena Andermatt–Sedrun–Disentis provides access to a large, interconnected ski area at altitudes over 3,000 meters. The village of Andermatt combines classic alpine architecture with a new, exclusive alpine vibe, where traditional Swiss restaurants, wine bars, and modern alpine bistros create a vibrant après-ski and dining scene untouched by mass tourism. When the snow melts, the area opens up to summer alpine adventures: hiking in high-altitude valleys, mountain biking on technical trails, and legendary cycling climbs over the Gotthard, Furka, and Oberalp passes, which rank among Europe’s most iconic mountain roads. With its raw nature, historic mountain passes, and uncompromising mountain culture, Andermatt is a destination for travelers seeking authentic alpine experiences year-round.
