The village is very picturesque with old log-houses and a good selection of cozy hotels and chalets. Most people you'll see around won't be tourists but the Swiss army. They train for mountain warfare and spend their free time in the slopes and the bars of Andermatt!
The Andermatt ski area consists of four parts, the slopes of the Gemsstock, Nätschen, Winterhorn and Realp. The highest point is 2965 m above sea level and gives access to high mountain off-piste skiing - with a mountain guide of course! There are also possibilities to reach other resorts such as St Moritz and Zermatt.
Enjoy the outdoors!
There is plenty to do in Andermatt both winter and summer, if you like the outdoors and sports that is. For the non-skier they have little to offer in the winter but there's ice skating, an indoor swimming pool and of course the pretty village to look at.
During the summer there is fishing, hunting, over 500 km of walks and climbing.
Eating in Andermatt is probably best in some of the restaurants in the village, try to avoid the mountain restaurants. One that is recommended is at the foot of the off-piste run from Gemsstock down into Hospental. After ski is a must in one of the local bars and restaurants, try the Ochsen for its atmosphere. If you want to keep on partying go to the Downhill where it's bound to be some dancing going on!
