Reviving Mountain Retreat With Modern Interior In Andermatt

An immaculate apartment with wonderfully easy walking (in ski boots!) to both Natschen and Gemstock lifts. Beautifully appointed , extremely comfortable and incredibly helpful landlord. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your home in Andermatt.

Excellent location - so easy to get to the gondola and short walk to everything in town. Underground parking was amazing during the heavy snow and the unit was clean and modern! Communication from owner was A. We had everything we needed well-documented and available to us prior to our trip to eliminate any stress upon arrival. Would certainly stay in on a return trip to Andermatt.

The apartment was meticulously clean and was particularly well resourced. The interior was modern, spacious and comfortable. In addition, the apartment was conveniently located, within 5-6 minutes walk to either of the ski lifts and to shopping locations. I would have no hesitation in staying here during a future visit.

We don't normally spend a lot of time on reviews, but it is warranted in this case. First will begin with the town of Andermatt. Coming from the US for only a week of skiing, my family had a couple of requirements: access via train so no need to deal with rental car, more authentic part of Switzerland rather than the main touristy centers, and, of course, great skiing. Andermatt ticked all the boxes and then some. Easy access from either Zurich or Geneve, we lugged our bags from the train station to the apartment no problem. The town is a gem, no crowds, friendly, very few mid week tourists, and very charming. As for the skiing, the Gemstock has all the steeps for the most adventurous (the off piste stuff is world class), while the Nätschen side is great if you are up for a some sunny cruising.As for the apartment, it was perfect for my family, well appointed and beautiful views. The pictures do not really do it justice, we loved our stay there and felt instantly at home. We even loved the train silently rolling by, the world famous red Matterhorn-Gotthard Bahn framed against the beautiful backdrop of snow covered peaks. It was also an easy walk to the Gemstock or Nätschen for skiing, or into the village for groceries. Moreover, Chris Kayatz went above and beyond to make our trip as easy as possible. They were fantastic to deal with. We read about Andermatt turning into a glitzy resort, that maybe true eventually, but it certainly didn't have the touristy feel of Zermatt or Grindelwald. If you are looking for authentic Switzerland away from the bustle of the normal tourists destinations, I can't recommend both Andermatt and the Kayatz family apartment enough.
