Quality and sustainability are reflected in every detail of the resort. Most of the base materials used in the construction are being sourced from the region, and all the buildings are being built to MINERGIE® standards. This sustainable development concept and the uncompromising focus on quality and design are the best basis for longterm appreciation, making for an attractive real estate investment. Andermatt Swiss Alps AG is backed by Orascom Development Holding AG as a strong partner with extensive experience in the development of integrated holiday destinations. NATURAL BUILDING MATERIALS The façade of the Gotthard Residences building rests on base course of stone, and that of the hotel building on a base of stacked concrete elements. The façades feature various types of timber cladding and are fittingly crowned with great overhanging roofs. The interiors are finished to the highest standards in terms of materials and design. quality LOCAL PARTNER The expansion of the resort and the collaboration with local and regional businesses has created new jobs and established sustainable and local value creation. For example, the architecture and the design of the hotels and the Gotthard Residences come from the hands of the local architectural office of Germann & Achermann in Altdorf (Uri). They were also the architects responsible for the construction of The Chedi Andermatt.
Responsible use of resources and a sustainable development concept run through the Andermatt Swiss Alps project like a golden thread. All apartments and hotels are being built to MINERGIE® standards, a recognised Swiss quality label for sustainable and ecologically designed buildings with low energy consumption. Great emphasis is placed on the use of indigenous materials: regional stone and Swiss timber for wooden elements and roof framing. The façades employ pre-fabricated timber elements, chosen to make best use of the short construction season in Andermatt.

Up to 60 % of the purchase price of a Gotthard Residence can be financed at attractive conditions through one of our partner banks.

What’s more, you can rent out your apartment direct through the hotel operator, securing long-term economy and income. Rental programmes currently generate yields of 1.5% - 3.5%.
