Andermatt - The Heart of the Alps

Image
Andermatt, found in Canton Uri is a fast growing ski resort with plenty of reasons to visit. With a ski area of 120km and an abundance of off piste skiing available, there is plenty to keep you entertained for any length of time. Not only that, but developments (130 million Francs worth!) are in progress and a much larger ski area is promised to be open by the 2017/18 season. There is currently 5 different ski areas in the area, all covered by the same ski pass and each with something different to offer. Andermatt-Gemsstock is an experienced skier's heaven. Sitting at nearly 3000m it has been known by and popular with freeriders from all over the world for years. It is also home to what is described by skiing legend Bernhard Russi as one of the finest downhill runs in the Alps. Combine the above with an awesome freestyle park then there is more than enough to satisfy those in search of an adrenaline rush. A view of Andermatt and the Gemsstock Mountain Next is the Andermat
