Andermatt Ski Pass: Prices, Half-Price Card and Coverage

What the Andermatt Ski Pass Covers: Andermatt, Sedrun and Disentis as One 180 km Area

The Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis pass is a single product spanning three linked sectors, with 33 modern lifts and 180 km of marked slopes according to the Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis lift company. The Andermatt side sits at 1,444 m and is the steep, high-altitude end, while Sedrun, reached over the Oberalppass, is where the wide, gentle pistes for families and improvers sit. Disentis adds a further sector with its own character and is fully included in the area pass.

Practically, this matters because you can start in one village and end in another without buying anything extra, so long as you keep an eye on the time needed to get back via the connecting lifts and the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn. A first trip usually splits into one day around Andermatt, one around Sedrun and a third on whichever sector suits the group's level best. Sketch the plan against the Andermatt Piste Map before you commit to a multi-day ticket, because the geometry of the area shapes how much skiing you actually get per day.

Day Pass Prices: Three Fixed Rates and Premium Ski Days

Day passes in Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis are not dynamically priced. Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis publishes exactly three rates: CHF 92 for an adult buying online by 23:59 the day before, CHF 96 for a pass bought online or at the ticket office on the ski day, and CHF 99 on designated premium ski days. Children pay CHF 46, CHF 48 and CHF 50 at the same three tiers.

The premium days are season-specific and set by Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis, running from Saturday 19 December 2026 to Sunday 3 January 2027 and again from 1 February to 7 March 2027 in the published calendar. Those weeks are the ones to plan around if you are price-sensitive, since the difference between an early online purchase and a premium-day window ticket is CHF 7 per adult. If your dates fall in a premium block, decide early whether to shift the trip or simply budget the higher rate.

Older third-party price tables still circulate showing a CHF 60 adult day pass and roughly CHF 273 to CHF 287 for six days, but these no longer match what Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis publishes. Use them for relative comparison with other Swiss resorts at most, not for budgeting.

Age Bands and Who Skis Free

Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis age bands are child from 6 to 15, junior from 16 to 20, adult from 21 to 64 and senior from 65. Children under 5 ski free with the half-price pass scheme, and the child day rate applies through age 15. Expect to show photo identification if a child's age is ambiguous at the window; a passport copy is the usual fix.

The gap between child and adult rates is large enough that families with teenagers should check which band each skier falls into before buying online, since the junior rate exists but is not one of the three headline day-pass tiers. Buy the correct band at the point of purchase rather than trying to upgrade later at the turnstile.

The Half-Price Pass: CHF 69, What It Discounts and What It Excludes

The Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis half-price pass costs CHF 69 for adults and CHF 35 for children, and gives 50% off one-day ski passes for the season. Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis notes it pays for itself after two ski days, which is a fair test: if you are skiing three days or more in a season and will buy daily tickets, it wins. It is personal and non-transferable.

The exclusions are the part most skiers miss. It does not discount multi-day tickets, the half-day ticket from noon, Disentis-only one- and two-day tickets, sledging tickets, single and return mountain-railway trips, Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn single journeys, the Tour gondola or the Valtgeva snowpark. In other words, a half-price card plus multi-day tickets is not a combination that saves money; choose either the card with daily passes or a straight multi-day product.

The SBB Half-Fare Card and GA are a separate matter. They do not reduce Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis day passes, although they can bring a discount on single and return trips with the Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG lifts, but not with Bergbahnen Disentis. If you hold a Swiss rail discount card, do not assume it functions as a mountain half-price card.

Multi-Day Passes and Where the Savings Actually Land

Multi-day tickets are the default for a ski week and are not discounted by the half-price card, so the comparison is straightforward: add up daily passes against the multi-day rate for your exact number of days. Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis publishes a full price list rather than quoting every duration on the ticket page, so read the duration table before deciding, particularly for three- and four-day trips where the daily-versus-multi-day gap is smaller than for a full week.

A useful rule for a five- or six-day trip is to buy the multi-day product for the core days and treat any extra day as a separate decision: with the half-price card in hand, a single discounted day can beat extending a multi-day ticket, but only if you already own the card. For a two- or three-day trip, the half-price card rarely repays itself unless you ski again later in the same season.

Disentis-Only Tickets for Short Stays

If you are based in Disentis and only skiing its local slopes, Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis sells separate one- and two-day Disentis tickets. These are deliberately outside the half-price discount, so the card does not help here, and they are not the product to buy if you intend to cross towards Sedrun or Andermatt. For a short break in the valley with no ambition to tour the whole area, they are the cheaper, simpler choice.

Anyone staying three days or more in Disentis should compare the local ticket against the full area pass before booking, because the range and altitude of the Andermatt side make it worth the step up for most skiers. Decide based on how much you value the linked terrain rather than on the headline price alone.

Epic Pass Access, the Access Card and the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn Upgrade

Epic Pass holders do not tap straight onto the lifts. They present proof of a valid pass and photo ID at a ticket window in Andermatt, Sedrun or Disentis and receive a physical Andermatt-Sedrun-Disentis access card, which carries a CHF 5 deposit refunded on return. The mobile pass in the app can serve as proof but cannot open the turnstiles itself, so plan a window visit before your first lift.

Epic holders can also buy an upgrade for the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn, the train that links the three sectors, at CHF 50 for up to seven consecutive days or CHF 150 for unlimited use across the 2026-27 season. It must be bought at the time the access card is issued to get that rate; otherwise you buy ordinary train tickets from the machines at public transport prices. If you plan to ski across all three villages, the seven-day upgrade is worth pricing into the trip.

Two exclusions catch people out: Epic Friend Tickets and Ski With A Friend do not work at Andermatt, and Epic Coverage does not apply to closures here because only North American resorts are covered. Epic pass holders whose included days run out can buy additional single days at 50% off with valid ID at the window. Epic Mountain Rewards and GotthardMemberClub benefits also do not apply.

SwissPass, Keycards and Getting Through the Turnstiles

Day passes can be loaded onto a SwissPass or a keycard. Carry the physical SwissPass: the turnstiles cannot read a card held in a phone wallet. For keycards, the Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis app reads Skidata cards over NFC, but Axess keycards are not compatible, so look at the logo on the back before relying on it.

Older SwissPass cards can cause problems at the gate, so if yours has been in a drawer for several seasons, ask for a keycard instead at the ticket office and keep the deposit receipt. This is a five-minute job at the window that saves a morning queue later.

Where to Buy: Online the Day Before Versus the Ticket Office

The cheapest route is the website by 23:59 the day before you ski, which saves CHF 4 per adult against an on-the-day purchase. That means buying from the accommodation the evening before, not queueing at the base station. For a family of four, buying online the previous evening is worth more than a round of hot chocolates.

The ticket office still exists for good reasons: family discounts, keycard issues and same-day decisions. If you are unsure of the weather, buy on the day and accept the higher rate as the price of flexibility. If you are certain, book ahead online.

If you are travelling by train from Zurich, Basel, Lucerne or Locarno, the SOB Winterhit bundles the journey to Andermatt on the Treno Gottardo with your skiing, which can be simpler than buying rail and lift separately. Compare the total against a rail ticket plus an online day pass before committing.

Family Discount Rules and Why You Buy at the Window

The family discount is only available at the ticket office and only for groups of at least three paying people that include one or two adult guardians and at least one child aged 15 or under. Other accompanying adults are excluded. If your group fits that shape, buy in person rather than online, because the discount cannot be applied to a web purchase.

Note that this is a family structure rule, not a group discount for friends. Two parents and two children qualify; four adults and one child do not get the discount on all five tickets. The terms on the Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis page spell out who qualifies.

Gotthard Oberalp Arena Coverage Versus Older Full-Area Pricing

You will see the names Gotthard Oberalp Arena and Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis used in different places, and older price sheets quote tickets valid at Andermatt, Realp and Sedrun with various smaller-area variants. The current product line-up on the Andermatt+Sedrun+Disentis pages is the reliable reference point for what a pass includes and what it costs; check current prices and dates there before booking. Treat historical tables as background, not as a booking basis.

In practice this means checking the coverage of any ticket you buy for Realp or a single sector, since these are not the same as the full area pass. For a first trip, the full area product is almost always the right purchase. Our Andermatt Skiing overview explains how the sectors fit together on the mountain.

Matching the Pass to Your Ability: Andermatt Steeps, Sedrun and Disentis Beginners

A single area pass makes sense because each sector suits a different level. Andermatt offers the steep, high-altitude terrain and long vertical that draws expert skiers, while Sedrun's wide, sunny slopes are the natural base for beginners and intermediates, and both villages have child-friendly lifts and gentle learning areas. Disentis, included in the full pass, offers quieter terrain and is often where groups go when the main sectors are busy.

If you are booking beginners into lessons, sort the school and meeting point before you buy lift products, because lesson bookings and lift passes are separate purchases and the meeting point affects which base station you start from. Our Andermatt Ski lessons page covers the programme questions to settle first, and Andermatt ski hire covers equipment collection so you are not queuing for boots at the same time as your first lift.

Practical Booking Order for a First Andermatt Trip

Work in this order: fix your dates and note whether they fall in a premium block, decide between a multi-day product and a half-price card plus daily tickets, then buy the lift product the evening before each ski day if you are going down the daily route. Reserve the ticket-office visit for family discounts, keycard issues and Epic access cards, all of which need a person at the window.

If your travel plans are still open and you are comparing Swiss resorts, the Davos Ski Pass Guide and the Arosa Ski pass overview show how other Graubünden areas structure their tickets, which is useful for weighing a multi-resort trip. Check the current Andermatt price list once your dates are firm rather than relying on this page's figures months ahead.

Plan Your Visit

The Andermatt ski pass decision comes down to three questions: how many days, whether your dates hit a premium window, and whether the half-price card will repay its cost. For most week-long trips, a multi-day area ticket is the simple answer; for three or more separate ski days across the season, the card wins. Buy online the evening before when you can, and save the window visit for family discounts, keycards and Epic access cards.
