Village life
Andermatt – Switzerland’s crossroads
The ancient village of Andermatt lies at the intersection of four Alpine passes: the Gotthard Pass to Southern Switzerland, the Schöllenen Gorge to the North, the Furka to the West and the Oberalp Pass to the Surselva region. For centuries, these natural crossroads acted as major trade routes, and you feel it as you enter the town – this sense of openness to the visitor, and to those wishing to make their home in this place like no other.
