The Chedi Andermatt with Powder Byrne Luxury Service
Andermatt is stirring awake with a newfound vibrancy. For years, Powder Byrne has championed this Swiss ski resort as a premier destination, following the successful launch of their exclusive family ski holiday services and award-winning children’s programmes in 2018. This historic, picture-perfect Swiss village has benefited from significant investment, including a collaboration with Vail Resorts and its inclusion in the Epic Pass. Anchored in the heart of the village are the stunning buildings of The Chedi Andermatt, one of Powder Byrne’s most luxurious partnered five-star hotels.
Powder Byrne is renowned for its hand-picked luxury accommodations, ensuring each property delivers a truly elevated experience for its clients. The Chedi Andermatt fits this vision perfectly, exuding a sense of grandeur and refinement. Set in the scenic core of the Swiss Alps, it offers families a blend of luxury, style, and the comprehensive, on-the-ground support of Powder Byrne’s attentive service on and off the slopes.
This five-star property, designed by the acclaimed architect Jean-Michel Gathy, combines Alpine and Asian design influences to create a unique, memorable environment. Nestled at the crossroads of eight mountain passes, The Chedi offers breathtaking views from every angle, enhancing the sense of being surrounded by snow-covered peaks and untouched landscapes. The property’s architecture, defined by intricate woodwork, stone, and glass accents, encapsulates both serenity and sophistication.
The Chedi Andermatt offers an array of family-friendly accommodations. Rooms are spacious and elegantly designed, with Grand Deluxe Rooms catering to small families and luxurious suites, such as the expansive Furka Suite, accommodating up to eight people with private chef services available for a more personalised stay. Powder Byrne ensures each family finds the perfect room set-up, complete with bespoke amenities to enhance comfort.
The Chedi Andermatt’s dining experiences are exemplary, earning accolades with Two Michelin Keys—an honour that only 31 Swiss hotels share. The hotel’s dining options include The Restaurant and The Japanese, which together boast 32 Gault Millau points and two Michelin stars. The Restaurant offers a unique, ambient dining space with four open kitchens that showcase both Asian and European culinary influences. The Wine and Cheese Tower, encased in a five-metre-high glass structure, adds an extraordinary touch, perfect for cheese aficionados.
For a truly elevated experience, ski up to The Japanese by The Chedi Andermatt, perched at 2,300 metres above sea level. This one-Michelin-starred, 16 Gault Millau-point restaurant allows skiers to indulge in Shi-dashi Bento, Tempura, and Uramaki Sushi Rolls before gliding back down the slopes. Since Spring 2023, The Japanese and The Japanese by The Chedi Andermatt have been under the expertise of twin chefs Dominik Sato and Fabio Toffolon. These award-winning chefs are refining the authentic Japanese dining experience, enhancing the quality and creativity of every dish.
Ski enthusiasts will find The Chedi’s location ideal, with quick access to the Gütsch-Express gondola, which initiates a thrilling ski safari connecting Andermatt, Sedrun, and Disentis. Across the valley lies the renowned Gemsstock mountain, offering expert and advanced skiers challenging off-piste routes and exhilarating groomed slopes. Powder Byrne’s comprehensive children’s ski programmes make this an equally enticing destination for families. The options include the pb Crèche and Yeti Primer for the youngest guests (ages 0–3), and the Yeti Club and SnoZone for children aged 4–13. Older children can join Teenage Guiding or the new Carve to Cruise programme, which combines social skiing with skill development in a fun and supportive environment.
