How it all started

Samih Sawiris came to Andermatt for the first time in 2005. But why actually? In this interview, the people who were there at the time and who have contributed significantly to the further development of Andermatt provide information: Josef Dittli, Raimund Kunz, Heidi Z'graggen and Samih Sawiris himself.

The fact that his ideas have been crowned with success has a lot to do with Samih Sawiris' attitude: "I think you have to be persistent and think long-term. It has so much to do with luck and not just your own performance. Success only comes when you are in the right place at the right time with the right idea."

This episode is about the promise to develop Andermatt into a year-round destination. But hear for yourself how this promise was kept.
