  • Andermatt Swiss Alps
    ANDERMATT SWISS ALPS editorial The first time I visited Andermatt, I encountered something special: the unadulterated natural beauty of a Swiss moun- tain village in the heart of the Alps. And I was inspired – not only by the village of Andermatt, but by the whole valley. This expansive high-mountain valley, the Ursern Valley, with its wild and romantic natural landscape, inspired my vision of Andermatt Swiss Alps. Even then, it was clear to me that the soul of this region is the untouched nature. And I intend to preserve this. I see sustainability as a cornerstone upon which the develop- ment of Andermatt is based. I warmly invite you to discover the charm of the Swiss Alps. Step into a world that is closer than you think. Welcome to Andermatt Swiss Alps! Samih Sawiris Sawiris’ vision has since become reality, in the form of the new hotels, apartment buildings and chalets of Ander matt Swiss Alps, the unique golf course and the multifaceted SkiArena. The properties next to the Reuss offer guests a range of modern residential options and are sought-after investment assets as well. The portfolio rang- es from practical studios to spacious apartments and penthouses. Streets and walks in Andermatt are short – and it should stay that way: The village area next to the Reuss is car- free; an underground garage provides ample parking space. The mountain cableway terminals, shops, restau- rants and public facilities are easily accessible by foot in every season and are integrated into the village life of Andermatt. The central Piazza Gottardo also contributes to this.
