Freeride & Wellness Spa, 3 Days, Andermatt, Switzerland

A powder ski paradise awaits you. Your guide knows all of the best freeride spots within miles and will take you on some descents that you will never forget. With an endless stretch of powder, you’ll be making first-tracks all day long.

Then, in the evening after a delicious meal, why not enjoy the spa facilities and rest your body ready for tomorrow’s adventures.

With small groups of 2 to 6 people per guide, you’ll be skiing the best peaks for the day’s conditions and your ability. Our guides have been skiing these peaks for years and know them all.
