WELCOME TO ANDERMATT!
WITH BLOSSOMING PASTURES, LOVELY FRESHNESS IN SUMMER AND SNOW-BLANKETED MOUNTAINS IN WINTER, ANDERMATT EMBODIES THE SOUL OF SWITZERLAND IN A UNIQUE WAY.
Nestled within the Urseren Valley, Andermatt is surrounded by an untouched alpine countryside like no other Swiss mountain village. The expansive high-mountain valley at the foot of the Gotthard Massif with its historic Alpine passes delights visitors with ample sun and excellent water and air quality. Water plays an especially central role here – the Rhine, Reuss, Ticino and Rhone, four of Europe’s major rivers, originate in the Gotthard region, where permanent ice and glaciers cling to the mountain peaks.
“Carpe diem” in Andermatt means enjoying high Alpine skiing in the morning and, in the afternoon, swinging your club on a green in an idyllic location …
LOCATED IN THE HEART OF SWITZERLAND
1 hr from Lucerne | 1.5 hrs from Basel and Zurich
2 hrs from Milan | 4 hrs from Munich and Stuttgart
Thanks to excellent access via key national and international transport arteries, these natural treasures are actually close by. They are reached from Stuttgart or Munich within just four hours, from Milan within just two and from Zurich within just 90 minutes. Railways lead to Andermatt from every direction of the compass. The mountain village is within ten minutes of the international north-south autobahn. If you prefer flying, you are just one to two hours from major airports at Zurich, Basel or Milan. And in Buochs, just 45 minutes away from Andermatt, there is a private airfield.
YEAR-ROUND
DESTINATION
Situated at an altitude of 1,444 metres a.s.l., Andermatt has long attracted guests from every corner of the world. The Alpine Ursern Valley offers a diversified range of sport and leisure activities throughout the year.
In addition to biking, hiking and mountain climbing, the new 18-hole par 72 championship golf course is definitely the centrepiece of summer activities. Designed to strict environmental standards, it promises golfers an unforgettable and spectacular experience with nature at the highest level.
In winter, the snow-sure region is enticing for skiing, freeriding, snowshoe trekking, sledging and much more. The SkiArena Andermatt-Sedrun is being expanded into the largest ski area in Central Switzerland, with over 120 kilometers of slopes.
From classical concerts to rock or schlager music to spectacular open-air theatre performances, Andermatt abounds in cultural events.
ANDERMATT SWISS ALPS
ANDERMATT SWISS ALPS IS DEVELOPING THE CHARMING MOUNTAIN VILLAGE OF ANDERMATT INTO A UNIQUE FIRST-CLASS YEAR-ROUND DESTINATION.
The customised real estate offering from a single source is supplemented by a wide range of family-friendly sporting and recreational opportunities. The breath-taking 18-hole par 72 golf course is nestled perfectly into the surrounding mountainous terrain. When finished, the new Andermatt-Sedrun ski destination, with over 120 kilometres of pistes, will be the largest ski region in Central Switzerland – with slopes for demanding as well as recreational skiers. Numerous new infrastructure elements and public facilities such as an indoor pool and new restaurants complete the overall picture. Thanks to careful planning, Andermatt Swiss Alps is well integrated into tradition-rich Andermatt and displays a typical village character, enhanced by the new car-free central zone.
The attractive mix of hotels, apartment houses and chalets offers a wide range of residential choices, from one-bedroom holiday apartments to spacious apartments to exclusive penthouses. Once complete, the resort will boast six new 4- or 5-star hotels, 490 apartments in 42 buildings and about 28 chalets. The sustainable planning concept and an uncompromising focus on quality are the best prerequisites for long-term appreciation of value, promising an attractive real estate investment.
Careful management of resources runs through the Andermatt Swiss Alps project like a golden thread. All apartments and hotels meet the MINERGIE® standard, a recognized Swiss quality label for sustainable and ecologically designed buildings with greatly reduced energy consumption. Electricity and heat are produced exclusively from renewable sources, making for CO2-neutral energy supply to all the real estate properties.
Also the re-naturalisation of the Reuss, the car-free centre of the resort and the inclusion of environmental organisations in the planning and construction of the golf course and the ski destination are in line with the concept of environmental sustainability.

DREAM PROPERTIES IN THE ALPS
The 42 apartment buildings form the heart of the project. The buildings combine modern architecture with the character of a traditional Swiss alpine village. As an apartment owner, you have the option of having your apartment rented out during your absence, thereby generating income.
Combining the traditional holiday apartment with hotel services and a large sport and wellness facility, our hotel residences offer the ideal place for relaxation and enjoyment.
The Chedi Andermatt hotel has set new standards in the Alps. The 5-star deluxe hotel still has a few exclusive Penthouses in ‘core & shell’ for sale. Buyers enjoy very great design freedom in the interior finishing – to realise one’s individual dream home.
We offer you the opportunity to make the dream of your own exclusive chalet come true. Whether facing the golf course or with a beautiful view of the Reuss riverbanks – you can choose from among some 28 chalets parcels.

SPECIAL RIGHTS FOR BUYING PROPERTY IN ANDERMATT
Exemption from Lex Koller
Are you from another country and want to buy real estate in Switzerland? The purchase of real estate by persons not domiciled in Switzerland is strictly limited and is subject to special approval (Lex Koller). This is intended to restrict the sale of residential properties to international investors.
On 21 December 2007 the Swiss government granted Andermatt Swiss Alps AG a blanket exemption from the Lex Koller approval requirement. Thus, any international investor can buy and sell apartments and buildings from Andermatt Swiss Alps AG without special approval and without restriction. This exemption will remain in force at least through 2030.
Exemption from Lex Weber
In addition, all holiday apartments of Andermatt Swiss Alps AG are exempted from the Swiss Second Home Law, which limits the construction of second homes to a given percentage of the total number of homes in a community.
ATTRACTIVE RENTAL PROGRAMME
The real estate properties of Andermatt Swiss Alps AG may be used as the buyer’s first or second home.
If you buy an apartment as a second home, you may choose to have it rented out to holiday guests during your absence and thereby generate income.
In this case, Andermatt Swiss Alps AG handles the entire marketing of the apartment and all services associated with the rental to holiday guests. These include guest services, apartment furnishings, maintenance of the apartment and the grounds, bookkeeping and much more. We will be glad to send you complete documentation upon request.
ATTRACTIVE TAX BENEFITS

What's more, the Canton of Uri has no inheritance or gift taxes. We will gladly put buyers of Andermatt Swiss Alps AG properties in touch with the cantonal authorities to discuss attractive individual solutions for taxation and establishing residency.
