Andermatt
Andermatt, in the Urseren valley at the crossroads of the Gotthard, Furka and Oberalp passes, has become a year-round resort with hotels, apartments, a golf course and the SkiArena Andermatt-Sedrun. From Geneva, the train takes several changes. A private car brings you directly to your hotel or apartment, especially convenient with skis, golf bags or a family.

Chauffeur's tipIn summer, ask whether the Furka Pass route via the Valais is open: it is a scenic alternative, though the usual motorway route via Lucerne is often quicker.
The route from Geneva Airport to Andermatt
In winter, the alpine passes into the Urseren valley are closed, so your chauffeur takes the motorways: the A1 via Lausanne towards Bern, then on towards Lucerne and the A2 Gotthard motorway along Lake Lucerne. At Göschenen, at the northern portal of the Gotthard road tunnel, you leave the motorway and climb through the dramatic Schöllenen gorge, past the Devil's Bridge, into Andermatt. In summer, a route via the Rhône valley and the Furka Pass can also be considered.
Arriving in Andermatt
Andermatt is accessible by car, and your chauffeur drops you at your hotel, apartment building or chalet, whether in the historic village or in the newer Andermatt Reuss district near the station. The Gemsstock cable car leaves from the village, and the SkiArena links Andermatt with Sedrun and the Oberalp area. The 18-hole golf course in the valley attracts golfers in summer.
Practical advice for your transfer
This is a long journey, and traffic around Bern and Lucerne can vary, so leave a generous margin for your return flight. Declare skis or golf bags at booking. For comfort over four hours, the First Class Mercedes S-Class is a popular choice, while the Mercedes V-Class van suits families with up to 7 passengers and 10 bags. Breaks along the way are easily arranged with your chauffeur. AirportsTransfers.ch tracks your flight, so waiting time is included if you land late.
