Winter excursions in Andermatt

The group will hike through the wintry forest on snow shoes, enjoying the tranquillity of nature and fascinating ice crystals, accompanied by mountain guide Markus Gerig from Göschenen. After the hike, an open-air bath in a heated wooden tub is just the ticket, with great views of the Damma Glacier.

The Schöllenen Gorge stretches from Göschenen to Andermatt in the Gotthard region. It was here over 200 years ago that the French fought the Russians. The Suvorov Monument is a memorial to the fallen.

Climb up 1,500m in altitude from Andermatt to the Gemsstock, at almost 3,000m above sea level. From this vantage point that is truly in the heart of the Swiss Alps, you have all-round views sweeping across half of Switzerland.

The Gütsch-Express, which was opened in 2017, takes just eight minutes to reach its destination. The monocable circulating ropeway not only offers picturesque views but is also able to transport 2,400 people per hour from Andermatt to the Gütsch.
