Andermatt - A special piece of Switzerland

Holiday resort in the impressive high valley

Situated at 1,444 m above sea level, Andermatt has always attracted guests from all over the world, not least because of its charming, traditional village centre. Andermatt is located in the Ursern Valley, one of the most impressive high valleys in Switzerland. From the valley, three routes lead over the Oberalp, Gotthard and Furka to the neighbouring cantons of Graubünden, Ticino and Valais, each with its own characteristics. The new Andermatt Reuss district, the excellent hotels and various gourmet restaurants offer a unique ambience in the original village.

Of all the regions I know, it is my favourite and most interesting.
