Andermatt is a traditional Swiss mountain village with plenty of historical charm right in the center of Swiss alps. With a modern, state of the art lift system covering a vast amount of freeride terrain, this is the perfect freeride destination. The famous Gemstock lift goes up to nearly 3000m offering the perfect blend of playful side country and bigger backcountry adventures. The area also covers Sedrun and Disentis where we will use the train to get around and discover the quieter corners of the valley.
Course
The Split/mix freeride course is all about maximising conditions and generally involves a bit of everything. Shredding from the lift, short boot packs and splitboard touring days. Whatever the conditions throw at us we’ll find the best snow. Focusing on splitboard touring skills, along with developing backcountry safety skills and the ability to read and ride natural terrain, this week is perfect for those looking to get a taste for splitboarding and those already bitten by the bug and looking to develop their backcountry and splitboarding skills. Typically we’ll splitboard for 2 out of the 5 days depending on conditions.
Accommodation
Our accommodation is at the Mountain Lodge Hotel in Sedrun giving us a cental loaction to explore the big cable cars of Andermatt and the quieter resorts of Sedrun and Disentis.
Logistics
We recommend flying to/from Zurich, Saturday to Saturday. It is easy to access Adermatt by train in just over 2 hours from Zurich airport .
