In a comparison of 44 destinations worldwide, Andermatt Swiss Alps took fifth place in the Savills prime price league. Andermatt scored very well on resilience to climate change.

In this ranking, Andermatt takes the top spot in Switzerland. This means that according to the recently published Savills Ski Report, the year-round destination of Andermatt is the most promising resort in the Alps.
