Set at 1,444 metres at the convergence of three great alpine passes, Andermatt is a historic crossroads in the heart of the Swiss Alps, where the River Reuss runs through a valley of extraordinary natural beauty. One of the Alps’ most compelling year-round destinations, Andermatt offers world-class skiing in winter and hiking, biking, climbing and golf in summer.

Long favoured by those who value the beauty and peaceful nature of the Swiss Alps, it has quietly established itself as one of the most distinguished alpine communities in the world. Despite its seclusion, Andermatt is remarkably well connected. The nearest private airport is 45 minutes away, Zurich is 90 minutes by road and Milan within two hours.

Set along the River Reuss, a strictly limited number of private villas are now available to design and own. Each is conceived as a multi-generational home, built to accommodate family, guests and dedicated staff, to stand as a lasting family legacy. For those who are seeking a private alpine residence of this scale and significance, this is an exceptionally rare opportunity.

What makes these villas remarkable extends beyond their setting. Andermatt Swiss Alps holds an exemption from Lex Koller, the Swiss legislation that restricts property ownership by foreign nationals, and is unaffected by Lex Weber, the law that limits second home construction across much of Switzerland.

In practice, this means international buyers may purchase without restriction, and villas may be built at a scale that would simply not be possible in almost any other Swiss alpine resort. In Switzerland, such permissions are extraordinarily rare.

Building a home is one of the most personal things you will ever do. Here, you are invited to do it without compromise. From the overall layout to the specification of each material, finish and detail, every decision is shaped by the owner’s vision and exacting requirements. Each vision is realised in partnership with Andermatt Swiss Alps, alpine development experts and the team behind the destination’s globally recognised transformation.
