Experience Andermatt sustainably: A week full of nature and conscious moments

Would you like to explore the Andermatt holiday region in a variety of ways? With public transport, a wide range of nature experiences and offers such as the “Mountain&TrainTicket”, you can plan your holiday week in many different ways. We’ve put together seven ideas for your stay.

Choosing your accommodation is also part of planning your holiday. Several properties in the region take part in the Swisstainable sustainability programme, including the Boutique Hotel The River House, the Radisson Blu Hotel Reussen and The Chedi Andermatt. The train is a great way to get there: the Treno Gottardo takes you comfortably to the Gotthard region. And once you’re there, you can get around using public transport too. With the “Mountain&TrainTicket”, available via the digital Guest Card, you can use trains and mountain railways to combine various excursions in the region. Here’s a look at what a varied week’s holiday in Andermatt could look like:

Day 1: Arrive and take a deep breath

After your journey, your stay begins in a completely relaxed manner. Andermatt is compact, so you can reach many places on foot. A stroll through the village, a coffee with a mountain view or a dinner featuring regional ingredients are the perfect start.

If you arrive by train, you’ll catch sight of the famous church in Wassen three times.

Day 2: Discovering nature on the Chilchenberg

The flower and avalanche nature trail on the Chilchenberg combines a nature experience with learning. You’ll discover fascinating facts about alpine flora and the forces of nature that shape life in the mountains.

Tip: Treat yourself to a break on the Sun Lounger. This special vantage point invites you to soak up the sun, pause for a moment and let your gaze wander over the Ursern valley.
