There are three main areas of the resort: Andermatt-Gemsstock, Andermatt-Oberlap Pass-Sedrun and Disentis. Between all three there’s an ample amount of terrain for each level of skier including 10+ miles of yellow pistes for “free riders” featuring deep powder trails; 29+ miles of blue pistes, ideal for beginners; 52 miles of red pistes where the highest incline is 40 degrees and 22+ miles of black pistes, which are designed for expert skiers who can navigate steep runs with ease.
The most challenging area is Andermatt-Gemsstock, known for its perfect powder and steep slopes. The top altitude is 9,700-plus feet and will attract backcountry or off-piste skiers, particularly from November to May for carving lines in deep snow.
Andermatt-Oberalp Pass-Sedrun offers terrain for a larger variety of abilities. This area is ideal for groups or families who are at different levels of skiing while still having plenty of snow to be found. Here, you’ll be able to enjoy wide-open pistes and a variety of sun terraces for lunch breaks or an on-mountain après moment.
Disentis is accessible for beginners to experts in alpine skiing but also is the most common area for skinning, snowshoeing and even paragliding. After the lifts close for the day and you’re still itching for mountain time, fat biking can also be done in this area. The beauty of the resort is that with a lift ticket, railway travel between all three areas is included, so it’s easy to go back and forth exploring as much terrain as possible on the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn.
Additionally, Engelberg-Titlis, another renowned resort with a reliable, relaxed vibe, is just over an hour's drive from Andermatt making it an easy destination to tack on to your Switzerland ski vacation.
