Andermatt

A sleepy garrison town turned freeride darling, now linked to Sedrun and Disentis for 180 km of terrain. Andermatt catches the most reliable snowfall in central Switzerland, and The Chedi rewrote what luxury means here.

Get to know the resort

A decade of investment turned a quiet army town into one of central Switzerland's most exciting bases, with The Chedi anchoring a smart new quarter. The reward for getting here by train is reliable snow, proper steeps off the Gemsstock and far smaller crowds than the famous names.
