Andermatt reviews (Page 3)

Just come home after a week in Andermatt. Being very pleased, nice atmosphere in the village, easy to get to know the locals and thereby get a more qualitative stay! Great skiing in good weather. However, the weather is changing rapidly and can therefore overwhelm the middle of the offpiste ride. Do not be fooled by the weather in the village, it can be a splendid sun on top. Not so many backs but a wide range of offpists for both professionals and beginners. Little people in the week, real little place worth visiting !!

I spent 2 months there this winter.
Offpiste the ride, a day with a bit of snow and good visibility is about as good as it can be in the Alps!
The village is still still dead, so you have to be a ski freak to stand out.

+ Big, Brant and demanding offpiste
+ Might snow proof! (snowfall at both northern and southern winds)
+ Many obvious rocks, gutters and other fun to play with.

-Totally impossible to ride in bad weather! (Which is often) No trees to hide in. Everything is calf. Zero visibility !!
I do not piss crusher between different lifts here. There is only a piste that is good and you get tired of it.
-Not a jaw on the mountain on weekdays, but on the weekend you have to stand in the elevator queue halfway to go. (Fly to Winterhorn instead of Gemstock. There is a great goodbye on the side of the mountain down to St-Gottard's passport)

OK, now the snowfall was not the best when I came to Andermatt v4 2001. Most of it was quite uphill, but it went pretty well anyway. Andermatt is steep. From the top of Gemstock, choose either right (east) or left. On the right side (seen from above) there are black and steep slopes as well as disturbed offpiste skiing. Party! On the left side there is a red / black combination suitable for carving and a bit of snowmobiling. Andermatt is not much more than that. Certainly there are a couple of heating pipes down the cab and they are ok, but it's really Gemstock that applies. Lots of people on weekends and a little for weeks. By the way, I was about to forget a piste. A red that is reached by ankarlift. An okay ride to carve in and also offer a snowmobiling briefly piste. If you are really good then you hire a guide and go down to Gemstock's back.

I was there 92 and have to say that the village was deserted, but the three offpiste rides of eight, 13 and 16 kilometers had a lot of pleasure to offer. On the other hand, the shooting could be offset. Odd and fucking Much has certainly happened. In any case, there seems to be LITE nightlife now, according to previous review center.

A very good place where the possibilities for offpist seem to be endless. The village is cozy, but does not invite you directly to a crackling nightlife. Anyway, the benefits are more than disadvantages. This is clearly a place to go to
+ Offpist = WOW
+ ambiance
+ AfterSki on Spycher
-Nattlivet

Like Grand Montets (Argetiere), but getting offpiste, means that you are allowed to travel very untouched after snowfall because of this.
 

A totally sovereign place on the map of Europe. Has incredible amount to offer, steep slopes, slower driving, good sevice, lots of snow and a huge range of offpiste. Jobed there 1996-1997. The village is small and you get to know quickly people who come from the resort and like to take care of adventure you could not find. It is also part of Switzerland where it is not that expensive. If you go there, take a trip to Spycher, the city's most cozy bar and restaurant, where they also speak Norwegian (most in any case).
