Tucked in the heart of the Swiss Alps, Andermatt has turned into the world class ski destination
Located in the heart of the Swiss Alps, Andermatt-Sedrun ski destination is becoming one of central Switzerland’s leading ski resorts. The exceptional climate and the altitude provide optimal snow conditions for skiers and snowboarders all winter season long. Andermatt-Sedrun ski destination is being expanded into central Switzerland’s largest ski area, with state-of-the art facilities, more than 75 miles of slopes, 85 runs and 25 lifts. The first phase of the expansion project was delivered in the winter season 2014/15.
There are two mountain areas: Gemsstock and Nätschen-Oberalp-Sedrun. Direct access to both ski areas from the village of Andermatt. The average snow depth between December and April is 4.5 ft at the base and nearly 10 ft at the top of the Gemsstock.
The Gemsstock mountain is an internationally renowned off-piste destination. Gemsstock at nearly 9,842 ft. is one of Switzerland’s best freeriding destinations, thanks to its wide open expanses, challenging descents and untouched deep snow slopes. The glacier run is one of the best in all the Alps, while the panoramic view from the summit takes in over 600 mountains. Gemsstock is served year-round by a gondola.
