Key Details
Andermatt, Uri, Switzerland
Andermatt. A Home in Uri Canton. In a wide, high valley close to the source of both the Rhine and Rhone rivers and below the vital Gotthard Pass, Andermatt lies at the very centre of Switzerland. Its strategic history includes time as an important trading town and a buzzy staging post for Alpine travellers. German poet Goethe described Andermatt in 1770 as “the most interesting and beautiful place” and that description certainly holds true today. After many years of operating below most skiers’ radar, Andermatt recently unveiled one of the most exciting and ambitious projects in the Alps. New hotels, modern chalet-style apartment buildings and extensive facilities from a Kurt Rossknecht-designed golf course to an indoor sports centre are making Andermatt the place to watch. The golf course and several new properties are complete. The first new hotel, the wonderfully opulent yet always intimate five-star Chedi Hotel opened in 2013 and immediately secured a place on Conde Nast Traveller’s Best Hotels List. Apartments and penthouses in The Chedi and other new-build homes in the resort have brought a new fan base to this long-established town. Andermatt Overview: Best for: Serious off-piste skiers, golfers and active families looking for a comfortable, year-round Swiss home free of all restrictions on foreign ownership. Property: Contemporary and fully serviced apartments and penthouses at various price points in a charmingly authentic and historic Swiss town. Who Owns There: Buyers from across Europe and the Middle East come for the Swiss quality of life, the world-class Chedi Hotel, bracing off-piste skiing, a PGA golf course and the potential of a year-round resort that is undergoing significant and exciting development. Access: Andermatt is well connected by road and rail, around 90 minutes from Zurich airport and within two hours of Milan.
