Most people come here for the epic descents down from the summit of the Gemsstock and for good reason – it is one of the Alps’ finest areas for steep skiing and snowboarding.
However, beginners and intermediates should not be put off, as the new lifts and link to Sedrun have opened up some fantastic cruising terrain. The offering for beginners has improved markedly in recent years, and there is a good, sunny beginner zone at Nätschen. From here, the long winding blue back down to the resort and the open blues up by Gütsch offer good progression.
There are also some great, snowsure runs for intermediates in the linked ski area and also on Gurschenalp below the Gemsstock. You get a real sense of travel by reaching the far end at Sedrun and all of it can be done on well-groomed reds.
This is where the ski area really comes into its own. The entire Gemsstock mountain is a freerider’s paradise, with steep descents and big vertical on every run. Hire a guide or visit on a Ski Club Freshtracks Holiday to experience the very best of this epic sector. Towards Sedrun there is also some good off piste and several blacks – which are a blast when freshly groomed.
The town is quietly attractive and the scenery surrounding it is dramatic. Charming old houses line the main street, which runs from the central river bridge to the Gemsstock cable car. Most of the new development is on the margins, out past the station.
Andermatt has become better for families, and the beginner area up at Nätschen is becoming increasingly good for children. Off the slopes there are some excellent winter walking trails and a great sledging run down to the village.
Andermatt is quiet on the après front and a quiet beer or glühwein is the local way to end the skiing day. In town, the Piccadilly Pub and De Prato are lively, while the luxury Chedi hotel bar is a classy place to have a post- skiing drink.
Andermatt-Sedrun-Disentis operates different dates for different sectors:

An unsettled week is in store for Switzerland, promising good snowfall throughout after the week opened with a couple of bursts along the way. Throughout the middle of this week, high pressure will bring steady conditions, with fine, dry and bright conditions in store on Wednesday. It will remain cold, with highs of -3°C at 1,500m.
The second half of this week will be markedly different, as a major break in the Jetstream allows a large, dense low pressure area to move in from the north. This will bring lots of precipitation between Thursday and Sunday, but at the same time will spike the freezing line high, to about 2,500m.
This means that higher elevations will get a good dusting at first, with 20cm possible over Thursday and Friday, before the freezing line plummets and brings another foot of snow across all elevations through Saturday, and continuing into Sunday. The best conditions can be found to the southeast of the country, around Davos and Klosters.
This is a big boost to the nascent snowpack, helping to build it steadily, and will allow snow cannons to contribute a layer, too.
