Andermatt UR , April 2022

The environmental construction supervision has given the green light for the infrastructure projects in Andermatt Reuss. The environmentally relevant specifications for the expanded construction activities in 2021 were met. The reviews also showed positive effects of the golf course on ecology.

The environmental monitoring in Andermatt Reuss has announced a positive result, according to a media release by Andermatt Swiss Alps AG . The intensified construction activities would have fulfilled the environmental requirements, it is said. At the start of construction of Andermatt Reuss, Andermatt Swiss Alps AG commissioned the engineering office Hodel Umweltberatung , based in Schaffhausen, to monitor and document the environmental impact.

As part of the environmental monitoring for 2021, the review extended not only to the operation of the Andermatt Swiss Alps Golf Course and the upcoming revitalization of the Dürstelenbach, but also to the construction measures for a podium extension and the construction of apartment buildings. The increase in construction activities has increased the number of inspections, but has not changed the result of a low burden on the environment, according to the statement.

The categories of immission control and measurements, water protection, nature conservation, butterfly monitoring and soil protection were examined in accordance with cantonal specifications.

From an ecological point of view, there is a positive finding for the operation of the Andermatt Swiss Alps Golf Course, which can be attributed to the protection and the practiced care of the nature conservation areas on the golf course.
