The skiing here is fantastic, with challenging terrain and plenty of off-piste opportunities.

More suited to intermediate or mixed-ability skiers, the Nätschen area is the gentler and sunnier area of the two, whilst the Gemsstock mountain is high and north-facing making it very reliable for snow and best suited to advanced skiers.

Whilst Andermatt does have two children's ski areas, it is not a resort that we particularly recommend for complete beginners. Instead, the slopes are more suited to intermediate skiers looking to take their skiing to the next level. On the Gemsstock mountain, intermediate skiers can enjoy the long red run from the top cable car station, as well as a number of shorter runs around the mid-station. The Nätschen and linked Sedrun areas also provide a great variety of intermediate terrain.

Located in the Swiss Alps, Andermatt is an excellent ski destination for expert skiers. Gemsstock mountain has numerous long on and off-piste areas to explore and thanks to its powder, Andermatt is a free-riders paradise. For fans of cross country skiing, the Ursen valley provides great conditions for both classic and skating cross-country skiing.
