We are developing and modernising the AndermattNätschen and Sedrun-Oberalp ski areas. The first new ski lifts and snow-manufacturing systems will be ready for the 2015/16 Winter season. A NEW SKIING REGION: AN EXTENSION FOR MY WINTER GEMSSTOCK, 2961 m GÜTSCH, 2344 m C REALP, 1538 m OBERALPPASS, 2044 m GURSCHEN, 2212 m VAL-VAL, 1900 HOSPENTAL, 1453 m GÖSCHENEN, 1106 ANDERMATT, 1444 m 6m NÄTSCHEN, 1842 m OF 2015/16 NEW FOR THE WINTER CH EN -GURSCHENALP RS GU 6-SEAT CHAIRLIF T (IN PROJECT) ERALP PASS -CALMUT 6-SEAT CHAIRLIFT OB LEGEND Phase 1 Phase 2 LAUNCH OF THE SKIARENA ANDERMATT-SEDRUN In May 2014 the Federal Office for Transport (FOT) authorised the application of the Andermatt-Sedrun Sport Consortium (AG) for its ski infrastructure construction project. The project to bring together the two skiing regions embraces the construction of 14 transportation facilities, of which 10 (4 new, 5 replacement, 1 renovation) are PAGE 08 in the first phase and 4 (3 new, 1 replacement) in the second phase. Snow-manufacturing facilities, ski runs and restaurants will be developed at the same time. Follow the current news on the project to join the two skiing regions into Andermatt-Sedrun at: www.skiarena.ch CONSTRUCTION START CONFIRMED FOR SUMMER 2015 The first construction authorisations were confirmed in Spring 2015 and the ground was broken for the first six-person chairlift with hoods on the Gurschen on 10th July 2015. It is scheduled to be in service for the 2015/16 Winter season. Approval has also been granted for a further chairlift on the Oberalp Pass as well as the snow making systems on the Gurschen-Andermatt descent to the valley and the TiarmsCalmut-Oberalp Pass. If there are no objections and the construction is possible in the time, the facilities and infrastructure will begin operation for the 2015/16 Winter season. PAGE 09 MY SKI RUNS ANDERMATT-GEMSSTOCK PARADISE FOR FREERIDERS AND DOWNHILL SPECIALISTS For freeriders and fans of steep slopes, Gemsstock (2961 m) above Andermatt is prime terrain. It offers excellent, snow-sure conditions right into Spring and its panoramic view takes winter sports’ lovers breath away. ADRENALINE RUSH FOR FREERIDERS The Gotthard region, a superb off-piste area, has been an insider’s tip among freeriders for years. Gemsstock in particular is sure to give you an adrenaline rush with its countless couloirs and cliffs, classic alpine terrain and slopes with an elevation of up to 1500 m. AVALANCHE TRAINING CENTRE On the Gemstock you will find one of the ten Avalanche Training Centres (ATC) in Switzerland. Here you can learn how to find people who have been buried by snow and how to handle yourself in avalanche conditions. The ATC is ideally suited for groups, school parties or individuals, for professional courses or for examinations. You can reach the ATC on the Gurschenalp (2212 m) not only by ski but also using snowshoes. You can learn how to use your own personal avalanche safety equipment correctly for free and without preparation time at the ATC. PAGE 10 In realistic avalanche conditions, 16 controlled transmitters are buried to enable you to practise searching for buried people. BERNHARD-RUSSI-RUN “The Glacier slope on Gemsstock is my favourite and one of the finest downhills in the Alps,” says skiing legend Bernhard Russi about his home run. The RussiRun leads you from the mountain peak down to the Gurschenalp, a drop of 950 metres, and is not for faint hearted! OPENING TIMES ANDERMATT-GEMSSTOCK LOW SEASON 14 / 15 and 21 / 22 November 2015 HIGH SEASON 28 November 2015 to 24 April 2016 CONTACT + 41 41 887 14 45 PAGE 11 MY SKI RUNS ANDERMATT-NÄTSCHEN – THE SUN TERRACE FOR YOUNG AND OLD REALP – PERFECT IF YOU’RE (STILL) UNSTEADY ON YOUR FEET Families love their winter in the Nätschen ski area for its variety and its two chair lifts and two ski lifts. The ski area in Realp is small and manageable. Beginners will find a Children's Fun Park with animal figures and a small practice course for learning through play. The ski runs – with varying grades of difficulty – are perfectly groomed, just like everywhere in Andermatt and Sedrun. Those who prefer higher altitudes can take the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn train to the mid-station or travel on the nostalgic chairlift up to Nätschen. Once arrived easygoing ski slopes and extended walks start, as does the flying toboggan run down to Andermatt. For those who want to take it easy, the sun and an incredible view that cover the horizon extending to the Furka Pass are there to be enjoyed. Day passes can be bought and toboggans hired directly at the Nätschen valley station. The ski area is the ideal place to try your hand (and feet) on your own if you are new to winter sports or have become a little rusty. Realp is also great for parents who plan to help their children practice their skills. The rearmost village in the Ursern Valley offers the perfect terrain for those not yet ready to tackle a larger ski area. Free parking is available on the closed Furka Pass road.

There are perfect runs here for beginners and advanced skiers alike. The lifts connect the Oberalp Pass with the slopes of Dieni via Val Val. If you're starting your day on the Oberalp Pass (2044 m), you first take the MGBahn train from Andermatt to Oberalp, the lift up to Calmut at 2350 m above sea level, ski down into Val Val and take the chairlift from there up to Cuolm Val (2215 m). From the other side, a chairlift takes you from Dieni (1500 m) to Milez (1900 m) first. From there you ski down to Mulinatsch from where a modern six-seater chairlift takes you up to Cuolm Val. Then you have to decide: is it back to Dieni or on towards Oberalp? FUN- AND CROSSPARK TEGIA GRONDA Freestylers love the park at the Tegia Gronda lift. Situated between 2000 and 2300 m it is perfectly placed, sunny, and offers a spectacular view out over the Tujetsch Valley. Well shaped elements, small and large kickers, boxes and rails all challenge the riders. After a racy decent and recovery on the ski lift the next run beckons. Alongside sporting challenges, the park also offers a cool lounge for chilling, a big sofa and a sound system with iPod connections. For the 2015/16 winter season the Tegia Gonda Park will be even bigger! More kickers and additional rails await all freestylers in the SkiArena Andermatt-Sedrun. PAGE 14 800 M SKI CROSS AND BOARDERCROSS COURSE Ski cross and Boardercross fans can have their own winter fun in Sedrun's Crosspark. The course is amazing, with rollers, tables, jumps and five steep turns to challenge skiers and boarders. A whole lot of fun! You can reserve a boardercross course online for your own challenging downhill races. School races, courses, training sessions and events are possible.

PAGE 16 Sedrun-Valtgeva is perfect for finding your feet, be it on skis, snowboard or Telemark skis. The hub of Valtgeva is the “Beginners Garden” of the Snowsports School. The brave can try out the tubing run and use the 143 m long magic carpet that also takes skiers and snowboarders back to the top. There are two ski lifts for the more advanced to use. OPENING TIMES SEDRUN-VALTGEVA CONTACT HIGH SEASON 19 December 2015 to 20 March 2016 + 41 81 949 11 74 PAGE 17 MY SKI RUNS TOBOGGANING FLYING DOWNHILL RUN SNOWTUBING A very special treat is the experience of being on snow on two runners. There are three possibilities to enjoy tobogganing in the Andermatt Holiday Region and in Sedrun: on the Nätschen, in Dieni and on the Furka Pass. LENGTH 0.2 KM VALTGEVA NÄTSCHEN–ANDERMATT TIEFENBACH – REALP LENGTH 5.5 KM LENGTH 7.0 KM The run on Oberalp Pass road is everyone's winter fun, big or small. Children will love taking the plunge on two runners down the sunny slope to Andermatt. There's also a spot of tobogganing to be done on Furka Pass road. The slope between Tiefenbach and Realp is steeper than the Nätschen run, however it takes two hours to make the climb on foot. The breathtakingly fast downhill run is worth it. A word of caution: the toboggan run is also a winter walking trail. Equipment can be hired at the Nätschen valley station or at the Andermatt train station. MILEZ – RUERAS LENGTH 3.5 KM You can also toboggan on the other side of the Oberalp Pass: from Milez to Rueras. The route is separate from the ski run and is suitable for families. The Dieni-Milez chairlift operates from 9.00 a.m. to 4.45 p.m.. You can hire toboggans at the valley station. Your safety is important to us, so please wear your helmet when tobogganing. Tip: Make it easy on yourself this winter. Instead of hauling up your own toboggan, you can hire one at the Hotel Tiefenbach. So, off you go! Into your tyres. All set for great fun, for young and old alike. GROUP RESERVATIONS Valtgeva +41 81 949 11 74 sedrun@skiarena.ch For Groups, please reserve the snowtubes early.

PAGE 18 Snowtubing is a thrilling winter activity for all those who love speed and don't mind snow spray. Nestled in a soft tyre you hurtle down the 200 m run and then a 143 m long magic carpet takes you back to the top. The snow tubing run is one of the main attractions in the Valtgeva ski area, near Sedrun train station.

Dad and godfather enjoy skiing while the kids can’t get enough of tobogganing. The SkiArena Andermatt-Sedrun has all kinds of winter! Our winter walking routes are groomed daily and marked by pink signs or marking poles. A NÄTSCHEN DURATION CA. 1½ HOURS DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY This easy winter walking route goes from Andermatt to Nätschen. The wide route follows the Oberalp Pass road that is rarely steep, rather climbs gently, curve after curve, all the time delighted by the views out over the roofs of the village, down the long drawn out valley of Ursern to the peaks of the Gotthard-Furka Massif. At the halfway point, a bar with deckchairs invites you to take a well-earned break. If you would rather not walk up, you can take the MGBahn train or the chairlift to reach Nätschen and walk home from there. B STÖCKLI CIRCUIT DURATION CA. 45 MINUTES DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY The Stöckli winter walking path reveals an incomparable panoramic view. On the south facing slope above Andermatt enjoy the sunshine at, amongst other places, the top of the chairlift.

You can start your walk by taking the two chairlifts, Andermatt-Nätschen and NätschenGütsch. The MGBahn trains travels to Nätschen, too. C VALLEY FLOOR CIRCUIT (TALBODEN) DURATION CA. 1 HOUR DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY This route is best for contemplative promenades. It is flat, short and sunny. From the railway station follow the signs to the cross-country tracks (Loipe). At the entrance to the Loipe (Bäzberg) the walking path is well marked (pink poles) and separate from the cross-country tracks. You walk through wide open spaces, the Golf Course in summer, and shortly before Hospental turn back, following the path along the Reuss river embankment to Andermatt. D URSERN VALLEY DURATION CA. 3 HOURS DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY On this easy winter walking path you can explore the Ursern Valley in its entire length. Initially you follow the Valley Floor (Talboden) Circuit. At the Hospental junction you turn towards Hospental and on to Realp. The return route follows the same path. In Hospental or in Realp you have the option to take the train back to Andermatt. You could also take a break in one of the restaurants on route. E TIEFENBACH DURATION CA. 3 HOURS DIFFICULTY LEVEL MEDIUM The winter walking path climbs up from Realp along the Furka Pass road, rising some 500 m to Tiefenbach. At the Hotel Tiefenbach (2106 m) reward yourself with a break. After hunger and thirst have been sated, the stunning Ursern scenery is there to “feed the eyes”. For those who do not wish to walk further, you can take a toboggan on the twisting road back down. F THE LAKE OF ARNI DURATION CA. 30 MINUTES DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY The trail at the Lake of Arni offers a breathtaking white mountain scenery. The frozen alpine lake surrounded by snow covered forests makes the mountain lover's heart beat faster. The 30-minute winter walking path can be varied or extended at wish. PAGE 39 MY OFF-PISTE WINTER WINTER WALKS IN THE REGION SEDRUN-TUJETSCH G MILEZ–TSCHAMUT– DIENI DURATION CA. 2 HOURS DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY This sunny valley floor walk begins with a wintery ride on the Dieni-Milez chairlift. Enjoy good coffee and freshly baked cakes in the Milez Mountain Restaurant before starting the walk along the wide, well-prepared path in a westerly direction past the alpine huts. Thereafter the way takes you gently down to Tschamut. The path then follows the seldom-used Oberalp Pass road back to Dieni. H MILEZ–DIENI DURATION CA. 1 HOUR DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY This path begins at the Milez middlestation and can be combined with the Milez-Tschmut-Dieni route. You follow the signs alongside the toboggan track and the path is steep at times but well secured. After the railway underpass you turn right in the direction of Dieni. I SEDRUN-RUERAS VALLEY CIRCUIT DURATION CA. 1½ HOURS DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY This gentle circuit can be started in the village of Sedrun. The groomed winter walking path starts shortly after the last houses in Camischolas Sura and goes to PAGE 40 the railway station at Rueras. From there you walk a short way on the main road before taking the next right. After the village of Rueras the way drops down to the valley floor and follows the Rhine River back to Sedrun. At the height of Winter, the valley floor stretch only receives sunshine in the afternoon. J VIEWPOINT CUNGIERI DURATION CA. 2½ HOURS DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY This winter walking route climbs from Sedrun up to Cungieri at 1817 m. This easy route along the sunny slope offers a wonderful view out into the Tujetsch Valley. On the way benches are placed, from which the stunning countryside can be enjoyed. K PARDATSCH NEAR RUERAS DURATION CA. 1 HOUR DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY This short and sunny winter walking route above the village of Rueras is ideal for all those who want to spend some time in the fresh air. The prepared path starts at the public car park or at the railway station. Coming back you follow the same route to the village itself. BATHING & WELLNESS AT THE SOURCE OF THE RHINE From the ski slope into the pool: what is more inviting after sunny hours in the fresh air and powder snow than to plunge, happy and tired, into the warmth. For Winter enthusiasts the Bogn Sedrun, the bath at the source of the Rhine, is a must! The swimming pool complex includes a 25 m pool to meet the needs of serious swimmers as well as a waterfall, millstream, wild-water channel and hydro massage zone. In the modern wellness zone, Roman steam baths and saunas invite you to a gentle kind of après-ski.

URSERN VALLEY OBERGOMS 28 KM CROSS-COUNTRY RUN 80 KM CROSS-COUNTRY RUN The cross-country tracks run through the valley from Andermatt via Hospental to Realp.

The 3 km long night track is lit on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Twelve typical Valais villages pepper the trail in Goms from Oberwald to Niederwald. The Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn train stops in almost all of these villages. Cross-country skiers and walkers can hop on and hop off at any point, so you can plan your trip, just as you wish. This is what makes the trail in Obergoms so appealing. It's no wonder that everyone enjoys having their own kind of winter here. Changing facilities, toilets and showers are available at the restaurant Zum Dörfli in Zumdorf and at the Biathlon Centre in Realp as well as in Andermatt at the loipe access Bäzberg.

PAGE 43 MY OFF-PISTE WINTER SNOWSHOEING IN ANDERMATT Walk apart from the ski pistes and winter walking trails through snow-covered countryside and experience undisturbed powder snow beneath your feet. In the Andermatt Holiday Region and Region of Sedrun there are over 100 km of marked snowshoe trails. 1 ANDERMATT DISTANCE 3.0 KM DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY This attractive circular route begins by the Andermatt village bridge and travels towards the Unteralp Valley by way of Mettlen. The turning point is at the highest point of the tour. Do not miss the opportunity to photograph the impressive ice-falls at the Gurschenbach. On your return journey you pass the Brunnen Rifle Club. From here there is a wonderful view out over the valley: to the south you can see Hospental and to the north, the Schöllenen Gorge. The way home brings you by the Mariahilf Chapel, built in 1735/36. 2 STÖCKLI DISTANCE 5.5 KM DIFFICULTY LEVEL MEDIUM This snowshoe trail begins at the Stöckli Bar on the Gütsch and offers fantastic views of the mountains. Look across to the peaks of the Pazolastock, Rossbodenstock and the Badus, the Gemsstock and the Gurschenalp, all the way along the Ursern Valley to the Furka massif. PAGE 44 You reach the Gütsch using the two Andermatt-Nätschen and Nätschen-Gütsch chairlifts. The MGBahn train also runs to Nätschen. For a perfect winter experience, you are asked to remain on the marked snowshoe trails and not stray on to the prepared ski slopes. 3 HOSPENTAL 4 WINTERHORN DISTANCE 6.8 KM DIFFICULTY LEVEL MEDIUM DISTANCE 7.8 OR 10.1 KM DIFFICULTY LEVEL MEDIUM/DIFFICULT Start from the barrier across the Gotthard Pass road at Hospental. Initially the path follows the Pass road. Shortly after the tunnel you bear away to the right, climbing a steep ramp towards the former ski slopes. Up on the higher part of the trail a spectacular panorama awaits you, from the Kastelhorn across to the valleys of the Gotthard region. Here the trail makes a loop that, in the lower part, uses the same path as on ascending. The snowshoe route from Realp to the Albert-Heim-Hütte (mountain refuge) offers plenty of variety. In good visibility you can see far out over the Ursern Valley to the Bünder Mountains. And right beside you is the Galenstock peak. For those who wish to reduce the route, a short cut at “Tätsch” leads over to Tiefenbach. 5 REALP DISTANCE 6.2 KM DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY DISTANCE 2.5 KM DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY The snowshoe trail begins by the Restaurant Central in Hospental. It is laid out as a circular route with a 195 m height difference to climb. The Gotthard scenery has its very own attraction in winter. Whereas in summer the Pass traffic rolls north and south, during winter there is not a single car to be seen. Do listen carefully: a mystical silence fills the snow covered mountain world. This short but variable snowshoe trail leads towards the “Goldfinger bend” from the James Bond film “Goldfinger” (1964). The trail starts and ends on the Furka Pass road in Realp. It runs as a circuit to the Geren Bridge then on the opposite side of the Furkareuss River back to its starting point. Shortly after the first ascent in “Biel” you can see the bend in the road where Goldfinger, alias Gert Fröbe, made a short stop to purchase fruit. ARE AL LTH OU GH TRA ILS LD OU SH EY TH ED RK MA N BE US ED AT YO UR OW ON DIS CRETI 6 FURKA 7 GÖSCHENEN DISTANCE 2.8 KM DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY This picturesque circular route initially follows the summer walking track in the direction of Abfrutt.

On the return journey you can choose between a variety of routes. 8 ARNISEE DISTANCE 3.5 OR 5.1 KM DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY In winter there are two marked trails set out on the snow covered, sunny terrace of Arni which lead you through the beautiful countryside. Starting points are at both top stations of the Intschi-Arnisee and Amsteg-Arnisee cable cars. Snowshoes can be hired at the Alpenblick Restaurant and at the top-station of the Amsteg-Arnisee cable car. PAGE 45 MY OFF-PISTE WINTER SNOWSHOEING IN THE REGION SEDRUN-TUJETSCH 9 PEAK TOUR PIZ CAVRADI DISTANCE 14.0 KM DIFFICULTY LEVEL MEDIUM/DIFFICULT This snowshoe trail can be either started at the village of Tschamut, the first village on the Rhine, or on the Oberalp Pass. Both routes lead up to the barns on the Milez Alp at the foot of the Maighels Valley. From here the trail is marked and leads to the Maighels Refuge, which is also open in winter. On the trail you will come across flat as well as step sections. To experience a true mountain peak you have to climb from the Maighels Refuge for further 300 m in height to the large cairn on the Piz Cavradi. Return by the same route. 11 UAUL CAVORGIA DISTANCE 8.6 KM DIFFICULTY LEVEL EASY The snowshoe trail Uaul Cavorgia begins in the village of Surrein. From there you follow the easy-to-see road towards Val Nalps. At the next turn-off you cut through the Wildlife Protection Zone of Uaul Cavorgia. Here the signs will point you to the village of Cavorgia, cutting directly through the woods. Snowshoeing through the open countryside to the village is a pleasure for young and old! In Cavorgia you can pack your snowshoes in your rucksack and walk back to Surrein. 12 SURREIN–CAVORGIA– MOMPE TUJETSCH 10 TGOM–STAVEL SISUM DISTANCE 5.6 KM DIFFICULTY LEVEL MEDIUM Enjoy a sporting day on the snowshoe trails, from the attractive Walser village of Surrein up to the lookout point at Tgom. The trail continues along the wide ridge to Stavel Sisum at 2387 m, where you can pause at the small alpine hut. If it has recently snowed and the trail has not been used before the tour can be quite arduous. PAGE 46 DISTANCE 7.2 KM DIFFICULTY LEVEL MEDIUM From Surrein you walk to the village of Cavorgia on a little used road. This snowshoe trail starts in the lower half of the village and leads along a snow-covered forest road through a Wildlife Protection Zone. The lowest point of the trail is reached at the bridge over the Rhine; thereafter it climbs steeply. The MGBahn station awaits you in Mompé Tujetsch. RULES FOR CONDUCT AWAY FROM THE PISTES 1.
