Jonas is based in Andermatt and will be offering day tours in the greater Andermatt area (Uri, Obergoms, Oberalp Pass and from the ski area) during these days. If you would like to take part in all the days, all the better, then you can book your own accommodation in or around Andermatt. We will spontaneously select the best destinations and undertake downhill-orientated ski tours!
