The Andermatt-Sedrun Sport AG (previously the Gotthard Oberalp Arena and the Gotthard Oberalp Skiarena (until 2013)) is a ski area located in Andermatt, Sedrun, and Oberalp in Switzerland. It has 16 ski lifts and approximately 30 runs, and just over 100 km of pistes. The ski area covers five separate mountains: Gemsstock Nätschen Sedrun / Oberalp Realp (small beginner slope only) Valtgeva (small beginner slope only)
It previously included Winterhorn, in Hospental, which was abandoned in 2007.
Train services (run by the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn) are vital in this resort as they are the only means of transport available to travel from Andermatt (Nätschen and Gemsstock) to Oberalp, Dieni, and Sedrun. Between Andermatt, Hospental, and Realp can be journeyed by car as well as the railway.
