Andermatt became interesting for tourists thanks to none other than Goethe, who travelled through Switzerland in the 18th century and raved about the mountain village. The Russian military general Suworow made the region even more famous during the war of 1799 against the French forces of Napoleon. When the connection from G\u00f6schenen to Ticino via the Gotthard was made passable in 1840, the era of stagecoaches began. Today, the Historical Stagecoach reminds of this time as an exclusive way to get to Ticino.<\/p>
The world wars in the 20th century drew the military to Andermatt, where it had stationed a large number of staff until the 1990s. The Sasso San Gottardo Fortress inside the mountain is now open to the public and offers a unique insight into this part of history. In the new millennium, one of the largest tourist projects in Switzerland has been realised in Andermatt - Andermatt Swiss Alps. The Egyptian investor Samih Sawiris is building a new resort next to the existing village centre. The ski area is also being continuously modernised and, thanks to the connection to Sedrun, is also being expanded.<\/p>","geocoordinates":{"longitude":8.59466,"latitude":46.636941},"highlight":false,"id":"5ef0d3d4-16a8-45bf-886c-227847ea0bdd","invisible":false,"latitude":46.636941,"license":"none","locale":"en","longitude":8.59466,"name":"Andermatt","sourceInformationLink":"","tipFamous":false,"tipHighlight":false,"tipIdyllic":false,"tipNatural":false,"tipOffTheTrack":false,"tipOnlyHere":false,"tipPopular":false,"tipTypicalForRegion":false,"type":"area","updatedAt":"2023-04-19T11:11:13","createdAt":"2021-07-06T12:50:10","primaryCategory":{"id":"33273e12-1b93-4d6f-bf1d-03dbbe4446b5","name":"Community","nameWithParents":"Area \u00bb Location \u00bb Community","rootline":["f82359f3-b904-409d-a6bc-d70527e38d8f","33273e12-1b93-4d6f-bf1d-03dbbe4446b5"],"rootlineNames":["Area","Location","Community"],"type":"city","invisible":false},"address":null,"client":{"id":"10170bcd-78b9-430a-885f-5e62af52c219","name":"Andermatt","url":"","logo":null,"legalClient":{"id":"8ffab43a-941a-4195-9bb6-f1ea30fa4335","name":"Andermatt-Urserntal Tourismus GmbH","url":"https:\/\/www.andermatt.ch\/","logo":{"id":"cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f","name":"logo_aut.jpg","description":"","url":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/storage\/client\/logo\/d742ed1897bf7b7dfb5de4ba0d4cdba0f69e82790bd370b70f3134e357c27410.jpg","size":0,"license":"none","path":"client\/logo\/d742ed1897bf7b7dfb5de4ba0d4cdba0f69e82790bd370b70f3134e357c27410.jpg","relationType":"document","preview":{"image\/jpeg":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/api\/v1\/file\/cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f\/d742ed\/view?w=500&fm=jpg","image\/webp":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/api\/v1\/file\/cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f\/d742ed\/view?w=500&fm=webp"},"sizes":{"thumb":{"image\/jpeg":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/api\/v1\/file\/cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f\/d742ed\/view?w=64&h=64&fm=jpg","image\/webp":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/api\/v1\/file\/cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f\/d742ed\/view?w=64&h=64&fm=webp"},"medium":{"image\/jpeg":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/api\/v1\/file\/cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f\/d742ed\/view?w=500&fm=jpg","image\/webp":"https:\/\/mein.toubiz.de\/api\/v1\/file\/cd637847-569f-46ec-a471-69f82f8fac1f\/d742ed\/view?w=500&fm=webp"}}}}},"author":"Roman Mudrack","copyright":"","externalIds":{"tomasId":"WBX00020010000137901","toubizLegacy":"city.116567","toubizLegacyRemoteId":"location_81017","outdoorActiveId":"1021816"},"languages":["de","en"],"awards":[],"permissions":{"read":true,"write":false,"delete":false},"classifications":[],"phoneNumbers":[{"id":"a4b6b1b5-71f9-4664-b1f8-551224608156","name":"Telefonnummer","type":"phone","primary":true,"iso5008":"+41 41 888 71 00"}],"fieldValues":[],"webMediaLinks":{"webcam":[{"id":"6b627e72-5ee3-407d-99a1-aa4407f87758","type":"webcam","url":"https:\/\/backend.roundshot.com\/cams\/5\/default","title":null,"description":null,"sorting":0,"createdAt":"2021-08-25 16:03:08","updatedAt":"2022-07-08 10:35:36"}]},"sourceSystemInformation":[{"name":"mein.toubiz","createdItem":false,"lastTouchedAt":"2023-04-19T11:11:06","firstTouchedAt":"2021-11-18T14:56:16","comment":null}],"trashed":false,"area":{"zipCodes":[]}}],"areaAccommodations":[],"areaHighlights":[],"areaParking":[],"areaPublicTransport":[],"discoveries":[],"gastronomy":[],"generic":[],"iceSkating":[],"connectedPoints":[],"pointGettingThereParking":[],"relatedContacts":[],"sights":[],"snowGear":[],"snowSlopes":[],"snowToboggan":[],"snowTrails":[],"snowTransportation":[],"tours":[],"tourAccommodations":[],"tourContact":[],"tourEndParking":[],"tourEndPoint":[],"tourEndPublicTransport":[],"tourInfrastructure":[],"tourRefreshmentPoints":[],"tourRelatedTours":[],"tourSights":[],"tourStages":[],"tourStagesVariants":[],"tourStartParking":[],"tourStartPoint":[],"tourStartPublicTransport":[],"tourSupport":[],"pointGettingTherePublicTransport":[]},"seo":{"id":"c8a01461-88fc-42e2-865f-b3d25ebd0e0b","metaTitle":"Take a seat (Sonnenb\u00e4nkli G\u00e4ndli)","metaDescription":"Nowhere easier than here:Lay back and enjoy the wonderful view.","noIndex":false,"openGraphDescription":"Nowhere easier than here:Lay back and enjoy the wonderful view.","openGraphImage":null,"openGraphTitle":"Take a seat (Sonnenb\u00e4nkli G\u00e4ndli)","canonicalLink":"","searchKeywords":"recreation, benches, spring"},"tags":[]}'>
