Experience Winter in the Swiss Alps: Top Activities and Scenic Spots

With the arrival of ski season comes the opening of The Chedi Andermatt. Located about 90 minutes from Zurich, the hotel blends Alpine-chic design with subtle Asian influences. This five-star property, featuring both indoor and outdoor fireplaces, offers a cozy and luxurious retreat after a day on the slopes.

Under the direction of two-Michelin-star Executive Chef Mansour Memarian, the hotel’s dining options are extensive and refined. The Restaurant presents four open kitchens that showcase both Western and Asian culinary styles. For authentic Japanese cuisine, the Japanese Restaurant by Hide Yamamoto offers expertly prepared dishes at dedicated tempura and sushi bars. Additional food and beverage venues include The Wine & Cigar Library, The Lobby, The Courtyard, The Pool, The Bar and Living Room, and an impressive Cheese Cellar highlighting local specialties from the Urner Alps and San Gottardo.

The Chedi Andermatt is open year-round, inviting guests to enjoy the changing seasons. In summer, Andermatt becomes a haven for hikers, mountain bikers and nature enthusiasts, with scenic trails and alpine vistas. A new attraction scheduled to open in 2014 is an 18-hole golf course designed by Kurt Rossknecht, located just minutes from the hotel.
