Sedrun, Swiss Alps

Sedrun: 5 things to know before you go

Swiss Alps, Switzerland 🇨🇭

Sedrun is a Romansh-speaking Surselva village at the head of the Vorderrhein, the kind of quiet snow-pocket the Swiss kept to themselves until the lifts went up over the Oberalp pass. The link across to Andermatt and Disentis built the SkiArena Andermatt-Sedrun-Disentis, 180 km of piste on one forfait. From the village square it is a short walk to the gondola and a long, calm day of skiing on the Andermatt side for half the price.

1.Is the snow reliable in Sedrun?

Generally yes. From 1400 m at the base to 2961 m up top, the profile holds snow well across a normal winter (score 86/100).

2.Do you need a car, or can you ski in and out?

Ski-in/ski-out depends on the address here: some hotels are on the snow, others need a short walk or shuttle. Pick a slopeside address if skiing from the door matters to you.

3.How big is the ski area, and who is it for?

At 180 km of piste on 33 lifts, it is a substantial mountain that rewards a multi-day stay. The terrain is balanced (0 green, 40 blue, 35 red, 12 black), which suits a mixed-level group skiing together.

4.What is the resort like?

Sedrun stands out for a vast, multi-sector domain and a family-friendly setup.

5.When is the best time to go?

The season usually runs Dec 7 to Apr 21 (about 19 weeks). For the most dependable cover, the deep-winter window of January to February is the safe bet. Conditions soften as spring arrives, so earlier in the window is the safer call.
