By train it is a single change
From Milan the train runs on the main line to Lugano and on through the Gotthard to Göschenen. There you change to the local railway, which climbs to Andermatt in about fifteen minutes. That is roughly three and a half hours in total — quick by Swiss mountain standards, and a beautiful ride in itself.
Open all year
The Oberalp and Furka passes are closed in winter, which alarms anyone looking at a map. But the Gotthard tunnel works all year and the approach to Andermatt runs through it — so a snowfall in the mountains does not cut the resort off, unlike many of its neighbours. The Swiss road vignette is included in the price of our journey.
Gemsstock, Sedrun and the Glacier Express
Gemsstock offers steep runs and holds snow into late spring; Sedrun has wide, gentle slopes for families. The Glacier Express also leaves from here towards Zermatt: about 3 hours 15 minutes of panoramic railway (the full line from St. Moritz takes eight). The transfer is ≈ €390 per car, 2 hours 45 minutes to the hotel door; for four people with skis a minivan is ≈ €490 — about €122 each.
The train is genuinely good here: one change and three and a half hours. The car wins on an evening arrival, with a group and skis, and because it goes to your door rather than the station.
Fixed price, meet & greet with a name sign, payment on arrival.
The essentials
Yes — unlike Zermatt, right to your hotel. The road runs through the Gotthard tunnel, which is open all year.
Oberalp and Furka are, but you do not need them: the approach goes through the Gotthard tunnel, which is open all year apart from rare closures in extreme weather.
About 2 hours 45 minutes, 185 km. The Swiss road vignette is included in the price of our journey.
