Skiing Andermatt from London
Andermatt sits 1444–2961 m in Switzerland. Flying via ZRH, then a 145 km transfer. About 5.6 hours door to door.
Worth knowing. The Gemsstock is serious terrain and most of it needs a guide.
Pre-season — snow reliability. There is no meaningful snow on the models yet, so resorts are ranked on how snow-sure they are: altitude adjusted for latitude, glacier cover and the size of the ski area. Live scoring resumes automatically once the snow arrives. How we rank

Is it worth it from London?
A week here works out 23% above the median for the 94 resorts we rank from London, and it comes 67th on value.
At 5.6 hours each way this is short enough to be worth doing over a weekend, not just as a full week — which is unusual and is most of the reason to pick it over somewhere further.
For what it is worth, Andermatt is cheapest to reach from Zurich, at about £1,171 — roughly £224 less than from London.
