On Snow Experience
This holiday includes six days with mountain guides. You’ll be split into groups of 6/7 based on your ski profile. Ski touring may be suggested should you need to venture further afield to access the best off piste conditions. This will all be dependent upon conditions and the guides you have on your trip. It is essential that guests have the correct ski profile for their holiday, please see the ‘View dates & prices‘ tab for specific holiday information.
This is a fantastic holiday aimed at those with a good level of fitness as we usually do at least 2-3 days with some skinning or hiking or both. That effort rewards us with bit of an adventure, really getting out into the mountains with stunning views but, at times, we may be away from the resort for several hours.

Andrea Enzio
I was born in Varallo in 1968; Ski instructor since 1990 and Mountain Guide since 1991. I started my working career in the mountain at an early stage, following in the footsteps of my father and my family who are mainly made up of mountain guides and ski instructors.
Having always had a passion for sport, I participated as an athlete in the Alagna alpine Ski Club for many years. After that I started rock climbing and then moved on to alpinism. I soon became a ski instructor and mountain guide and started these two jobs in summer and winter alternating them with maintenance work and managing the high altitude Huts, Margherita and Gnifetti on Monte Rosa.
Attracted mainly to winter sports, I started snowboarding and also completed an instructor’s course. After obtaining a qualification in canyoning guide, and participating in some Himalayas high mountain expeditions, I have been dedicating my attention and passion to skiing, from free ride and extreme snowboarding. On my side, you can count on some of the most important extreme line in the Monte Rosa group.
A lifetime dedicated to sport: other than alpinism and skiing, I am also a sailing fan, I did parachuting; I fly paraglide; white water kayak; scubadiving.
I live in Alagna and I’m the president of the historic Guide Association in Alagna founded in 1872, and technical director of the homonym guide School.
I work as Mountain Guide, Ski Instructor, Air Rescuer at helicopter base in Borgosesia and Alessandria. Married since 2013 with Barbara and now two kids: Caterina(9) and Giacomo(7).

Aprés
The town is small but perfectly formed and the train system connecting it to airports and other ski towns is amazing. Days invariably end up in the Apothek bar by the bridge for apres. There are one or two other bars (including the impressive bar in the Hotel Chedi), a few coffee shops and a couple of places for some retail therapy but generally you are here for the skiing. The ski hire shops are adequate but if you need touring skis you will have more choice with boots compatible with pin bindings. Consider coming equipped!

With up to six off piste holidays heading to resort each season, it’s no surprise Andermatt remains a Freshtracks favourite.
I’ve just got back from my fifth Freshtracks trip to Andermatt, four as a rep and there is a very good reason why I keep going back – it’s the off piste skiing! It’s also got a pretty good snow record, and I’ve been blessed with lots of plentiful powder pretty much every time I’ve been here, even at times when the rest of the Alps were struggling for snow. Andermatt is definitely not a party town, but there are a few bars where you can have a relaxed drink after a long day on the slopes. However, the selection is not huge and you certainly won’t find loud music or dancing on the tables!

Pros and cons
- One of the best snow records in the Alps
- Significant recent investments and an outstanding lift system
- Expansive backcountry terrain
- Limited off-slope activities
- Skiers might feel exposed during whiteouts due to the slopes being above the tree line
- A longer airport transfer time compared to some other resorts
Hotel Sonne
The 3* Hotel Sonne is a comfortable family run hotel located just metres from the Gemsstock Cable Car. You’ll be catered for on a half board basis (breakfast and dinner) throughout your stay. This holiday is on a twin share basis, and if you are a solo traveller, then you will be placed in a room with someone of the same gender. Single rooms may be available upon request, but are subject to our hotel room allowance. If you require a single room, please book early to avoid disappointment.
The Hotel Sonne is traditional and comfortable and really convenient for the main Gemsstock lift. The food is plentiful and we eat from a fixed menu every night (with flexibility for dietary requirements). There are numerous posh hotels, with spa facilities in the modern developing area of town, however they lack the rustic charm and friendliness of the Sonne.

The hotel is comfortable but doesn’t offer many amenities. However, the key point is its excellent location. The bedrooms have been recently refurbished and are good. The restaurant is decent, but it doesn’t have a bar or a common area to meet. Overall, a great choice for a Freshtracks trip. I have repped 4 Freshtracks holidays to Andermatt and look forward to more!
