Andermatt is one of the Swiss freeride meccas par excellence: from the world-famous deep snow descent the “Giraffe” on the Gemsstock, to the central couloir on the Blauberg, or the Felstental and upper or lower Geissberg, there is so much to explore in Andermatt when it comes to deep snow! With a local mountain guide we explore the most beautiful and racy descents of our home mountain!

Andermatt, the deep snow Eldorado in Uri – couloirs, steep slopes and turns in deep snow

Do you like riding virgin lines and gullies, gliding over powder pillows at high speed or riding steep couloirs?

When freeriding in Andermatt, all this is part of everyday life, the fun factor is at its peak and all the senses go crazy. Skiing becomes a playful and crazy experience! We will ski/snowboard in the area around the Gemsstock, the Nätschen or, depending on the conditions, in Sedrun/Disentis and glide through less frequented lines. Get ready for an incredible adventure with local mountain guides in the deep snow paradise of Uri!

Planned schedule for the Freeride Day in Andermatt

Couloirs Abfahrt beim Wolkenreiter Abenteuer

Morning

At the meeting point, we organize our equipment and carry out an avalanche transceiver check. Together we decide which runs we will head for depending on the conditions, avalanche warning level and skiing ability. Among other things, we can take the Gemsstock cable car up to 2963 meters. Once at the top, a first-class playground opens up for ambitious freeriders and experts alike: From the lower and upper Geissberg to the Blauberg couloir, the steep Vorgipfel couloir or the now world-famous “Giraffe”, every freerider will find the right descent here to get their heart racing! We take the first gondola and enjoy a morning full of powder, first tracks and fun.

Afternoon

After a warming tea and snack break, we look for more lines to ride. Our motto is: “First chair, last call!”.

We ride until our legs burn, the area closes or until one of the participants would rather go for a hot chocolate in the hut or a raclette dinner in Andermatt ;).
