Switzerland Ski Resorts

Ski holidays in Switzerland offer winter sports among some of the most breathtaking scenery that can be found at any resort across the world.

Switzerland ski holidays are a little less family-orientated than some of the other major skiing countries, but the country does offer guaranteed snow, something that every winter sports nut wants to see.

Runs from high altitude

Ski holidays in Switzerland offer ski runs from high altitude way up in the mountains. Zermatt - which has more than 300km of ski runs - sits around 3,000m above sea level, with Saas Fee offering an altitude up to 3,600m. There is not even a road to Wengen, which is only accessible by mountain railway.

Off-piste

Ski holidays in Zermatt offer the thrill-seeker something different, with off-piste options including heli-skiing for those that get bored with even the toughest on-piste runs. Zermatt is in the shadow of the Matterhorn, the well-known mountain that reaches up to 4,478m above sea level with a four to five-hour trek awaiting only the fittest of climbers.

Saas Fee offers snow tubing, where fun can be had by all heading down the slopes on a giant rubber tube.

Apres-ski

One of the best Swiss resorts for apres-ski is Grindelwald, with the range of nighttime drinking and entertainment venues including:

• Challi-Bar
• Gepsi-Bar
• Plaza Disco
• Regina Piano Bar

Somewhere for everyone

When it comes to accommodation, Verbier offers a great range for anyone planning a ski holiday. Flats, chalets, bed and breakfasts, hotels and mountain huts are among the many accommodation options.
