Andermatt Ski Resort
Andermatt's 78 miles of terrain is usually uncrowded, the weekends can get somewhat crowded with Swiss weekenders, and lift lines are generally few—this is rare and valued experience in the Alps—which can see heavy crowds due to the many major cities nearby. Andermatt features two mountains: gentle Nätschen, perfect for intermediates, and the monstrous Gemsstock, which reaches an elevation of 9,700-plus feet. Gemsstock is where experts and powder-seekers will want to spend their time, since the mountain's north-facing bowl stays fresh and relatively untracked days after a storm, Advanced intermediates will also enjoy the red runs at Sedrun ski area, which is accessed via a 20-minute train over the Oberalpass and is included on the resort ticket.
Additionally, Engelberg-Titlis, which is also renowned as snow-sure resort with a relaxed vibe, is just an hour's drive from Andermatt making it an easy destination to tack on to your Switzerland ski vacation.
