Getting to Andermatt

Andermatt is in Canton Uri, on a plateau above the main Chiasso railway line between Zürich and Italy. You can take an express from Zürich to Göschenen (near the entrance to the Gotthard tunnel) where you'll switch trains for the quick climb to Andermatt. Some trains continue beyond Andermatt to Brig, but you'll normally have several minutes to haul your belongings off at the Andermatt station. To check train times, use the Swiss Federal Railways journey planner.

If you're driving, take the Autobahn toward the St. Gotthard Pass and Lugano. Leave the motorway at Göschenen (before the tunnel) and head uphill on the local road to Andermatt.
