Experience Andermatt sustainably: A week full of nature and conscious moments

Sustainable travel isn’t about making sacrifices, but about enjoying yourself mindfully. In the Andermatt Holiday Region, this is particularly easy: thanks to good public transport links, a wide range of nature experiences and attractive offers such as the “Mountain&TrainTicket”, you can explore the mountains at your leisure without compromising on flexibility.

If you’re planning your holiday thoughtfully, the best place to start is with your accommodation. In the region, you’ll find several properties with the Swisstainable label, including the Boutique Hotel The River House, the Radisson Blu Hotel Reussen and The Chedi Andermatt. Your journey here can also be made convenient and climate-friendly, for example with the Treno Gottardo, which takes you comfortably to the Gotthard region. Once there, it’s worth using public transport. With the “Mountain&TrainTicket”, available directly via the digital Guest Card, you can travel flexibly by train and mountain railways and explore the region in comfort. Here’s what a conscious holiday week might look like:

Day 1: Arrive and take a deep breath

After your journey, your stay begins in a completely relaxed manner. Andermatt is compact, so you can reach many places on foot. A stroll through the village, a coffee with a mountain view or a dinner featuring regional ingredients are the perfect start.

If you arrive by train, you’ll catch sight of the famous church in Wassen three times.

Day 2: Discovering nature on the Chilchenberg

The flower and avalanche nature trail on the Chilchenberg combines a nature experience with learning. You’ll discover fascinating facts about alpine flora and the forces of nature that shape life in the mountains.

Tip: Treat yourself to a break on the Sun Lounger. This special vantage point invites you to soak up the sun, pause for a moment and let your gaze wander over the Ursern valley.
