Andermatt impresses with its diversity. In summer, drives over the surrounding Alpine passes and hikes through the Schöllenen Gorge or along the Four Springs Trail beckon. In winter, you can ski from the Gemsstock all the way into Graubünden.
This is Andermatt
Andermatt lies in the Swiss Alps in the south of the canton of Uri. This mountain village in the Urseren Valley is a top travel destination thanks to the
Schöllenen Gorge, the surrounding Alpine passes and its large winter sports area.
Discover Andermatt
Arriving in Andermatt is an experience in itself: the village is set in an impressive high-altitude valley, surrounded entirely by mountains. Against this backdrop, you start your walk through the village. You’ll discover the most beautiful patrician house, today home to the
Ursern Valley Museum. You can browse the many shops selling outdoor equipment and souvenirs such as rock crystals from the Gotthard region. To finish, make a detour to the
Reuss quarter, where the Piazza Gottardo with its
Victorinox Store and restaurants invites you to linger.
Passes and mountain tours
With eight Alpine passes, the variety of tours around Andermatt is unique. Particularly beautiful are hikes at the Oberalp and
Furka Pass or along the
Four Springs Trail, which takes you through impressive Alpine landscapes to the sources of the
Rhône,
Rhine,
Reuss and
Ticino. Mountain bike fans will find challenging terrain on the
Gottardo Bike route down to
Ticino. Steeped in myths, the
Schöllenen Gorge was the bottleneck of the first north–south route over the Gotthard. The view from the Devil’s Bridge over the rushing Reuss is truly breathtaking.
Winter sports in Andermatt
Andermatt’s large winter sports area extends up to 3,000 metres, stretching from the peaks of
Gemsstock and Nätschen over the Oberalp all the way to
Disentis and
Sedrun. On 180 kilometres of pistes, you’ll find excellent snow conditions. There are also fantastic
sledging runs, perfectly groomed
cross-country ski trails and scenic
winter hiking trails.
