Andermatt

Holiday Resolution


Andermatt is one of the best winter sports centres in Switzerland for guaranteed snow. A cable-car takes skiers and snowboarders
in two stages up to the skiing area on the Gemsstock, at nearly 3000 m. The wide open slopes are ideal for experienced skiers, snowboarders and fans of deep snow. There are easier slopes near the Gurschenalp and in the skiing areas of Nätschen (Andermatt) and Realp. With the winter sports pass for the Gotthard-Oberalp region, you can also use the ski area of Sedrun. The "Urserntal" cross-country track (40 km) goes along the River Reuss through fantastic scenery from Andermatt via Hospental to Realp and back.

Highlights:

* Gemsstock – incredible panoramic views from the summit over the heart of Switzerland and about 600 Alpine peaks.
* “„World of Water“ – discover path – a 60 km long themed walk in the Göscheneralp valley, with 90 stopping points with information about water as an element.
* Schöllenenschlucht – a gorge, which legend has it that a bridge could only be built across with the aid of the devil.
* Suworow memorial – huge stone cross cut into the cliff face in memory of the Russian soldiers who fell in 1799.
