Skiarena Andermatt-Sedrun Ski Resort, Switzerland

Andermatt was a quaint village which also hosted a garrison, it has now been boosted by a couple of large hotels - the Raddisson and the Chedi. The Chedi is the luxury high-end option and the Raddisson is more of an up market business hotel hosting corporate conferences and music events etc.
Andermatt is easily reached by Train or car from Zurich. We really enjoyed the train option.

The Gemstock is the area of interest for advanced skiers and boarders.
The summit is accessed with just two gondola rides from the village. The terrain is essentially Blacks and Reds with plenty of off-piste options. The runs from the summit to the village are steep, fast and fun. At the bottom of the run home there are a couple of small guest houses serving beer and lunch at reasonable prices if you prefer to fuel-up off the mountain.
The cafe bar at Gurschen is relaxed and has a great view over the Russi run and is good for some local fare and a beer.

The Natschen and Gutsch side, toward Disentis, has more family friendly slopes than the Gemstock area and allows for a tour to a slope-side restaurant or a more sedate exploration of the area. There's even a lighthouse up the mountain for some reason!

Pretty little town with two ski areas, somewhat spoilt by the addition of large new hotels. Accessible from Zurich. Good off piste.

Andermatt is great, they’ve renovated in recent years increasing capacity and efficiency. Naturally the price has gone up but the facilities are amazing and the pistes are well looked after and relatively quiet before midday.
