Despite boasting an impressive 120km of pistes in the linked ski area, the main attractions lie beyond the run markers.

The Gemsstock mountain is home to some of the globe’s premier off-piste opportunities. Andermatt enjoys its own snowy microclimate, with the mountain’s north-facing aspect further enhancing its appeal and ensuring consistently excellent snow quality. A recent investment of 1.8 billion CHF has revitalised the resort, bringing impressive new hotels and vastly improved dining and shopping options.

Pros and cons

One of the best snow records in the Alps
Significant recent investments and an outstanding lift system
Expansive backcountry terrain

Limited off-slope activities
Skiers might feel exposed during whiteouts due to the slopes being above the tree line
A longer airport transfer time compared to some other resorts

On the Slopes

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.

In the Resort

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.

For Families

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.

For Après

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.

Getting to Andermatt

Travelling by train is the most convenient and efficient way to reach Andermatt. As it is quite a compact resort, the use of a car really isn’t necessary. For the average train times from the closest airports, please see below.

Zürich airport: 2.5 hours
Basel airport: 3.5 hours
Geneva airport: 5 hours
Calais: approximately 11 hours driving (530 miles)

Snow Overview

Switzerland

Updated 20/12

The timeline for Christmas week snow is accelerated massively as a huge, dense area of low pressure gets swept in on the Jetstream to cover much of central and northern Europe as the weekend continues. Temperatures will remain cold through this weekend, with a freezing line dropping to 500m on Sunday and, as a result temperatures of -10°C being the norm at 2,000m.

Snow will first arrive in flurries on Saturday, but, in the west of the country, it is Sunday where things really shift through the gears. At least a foot of snow is expected down at Zermatt, initially over higher ground only thanks to a rare uptick in the freezing line, but eventually reaching all elevations as the freezing line falls away, continuing on into Monday when an additional 20cmcan be expected.

In the east of the region, things will turn slightly bonkers. This same Sunday snowfall falls as half-a-metre in most places and, instead of drying up as the new week begins, it will continue to fall across Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Christmas day), too. A further 45cm can be expected down on Monday and another 30cm on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Expect the avalanche risk to tick up to High or Very High (4 or 5) over the coming days as a result. Unfortunately whiterisk.ch don’t forecast in advance like the French do, so it is difficult to ascertain with any certainty what it might do. Please check your local forecasts carefully using the links below and plan any backcountry and off piste travel carefully in the coming days.
