Additionally, there are 35 km of cross-country skiing, all the children parks and lifts, aprčs skiing venues like discos, bars/pubs and restaurants, and plenty of off-piste recreation and lazy fun.

Davos – Klosters – High and Large Ski Holidays

Davos ski resort in Switzerland is often referred synonymously with Klosters, or Davos Klosters ski resort. The main reason is the enclosed skiing within the surrounding mountains. As part of this, Davos and Klosters are linked with Jakobshorn and Parsenn, Madrisa, Rinerhorn and Pischa—five main skiing areas circumnavigating the town of Davos. When added together, the 300 km of Swiss skiing holds the record as Switzerland’s loftiest and largest ski resort. In fact, the Parsenn funicular goes as high as 2750 meters to Weissfluhjoch; the lowest skiing takes place at 1124 meters and the highest at 2844 meters—skiing here is suited to all levels. Beginners have more than 20 slopes to practice on; intermediates have the double of the aforementioned to really improve on, and, advanced skiers have 22 runs to truly hone their skills. There are 26 separate lifts taking skiers and boarders to the north, south and west facing slopes. The longest ski run last just over 12 km, a drop of over 1700 meters! Snowboarders are not left sitting in the resort either. They have access to three separate board parks, with half pipes and fun parks. Cross-country skiers have over 75 km of trails to choose from, with over half of that dedicated to skate cross-country. Skiing and snowboarding lasts from late November to early May, with several festivals and holiday celebrations seemingly taking place every week.

Davos Accommodation:

The accommodation within Davos has something for every holidaymaker, e.i., if families or older folks want quiet nights, there are three- and four-star hotels catering to that crowd.

Jungfrau - Grindelwald, Wengen, Mürren & Interlaken

90 jungfrau-grindelwald-wengen-murren-interlaken Switzerland switzerland Jungfrau - Grindelwald, Wengen, Mürren & Interlaken 7.962710 46.536740

Jungfrau - Grindelwald, Mürren and Interlaken- Ski Holidays With So Much

The Jungfrau - Grindelwald, Mürren and Interlaken ski areas and resorts are often considered as not only one of Europe’s most historic skiing areas, but also one of its most stunning and photogenic—as it so happens, “Interlaken” means “between the lakes”. Jungfrau - Grindelwald, Mürren and Interlaken skiing redefines the boundaries of good and great skiing—of course, the latter class is what is found here in the Jungfrau region of Switzerland—this not only includes Grindelwald, Mürren and Interlaken but also Wengen. In Grindelwald (Berne), an English fellow named Gerald Fox back in the early 1880s strapped his skis on inside his bedroom, pranced out through the front bar and hit the slopes. Since then, numerous skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts followed, of course lacing up boots and strapping on skis and boards out-of-doors. Jungfrau - Grindelwald, Mürren and Interlaken and all the Jungfrau Top Ski Area has access to 213 km of slopes. There are around 20 ski lifts in Grindelwald alone capable of handling 40000+ skiers and boarders per hour, so queues never get long and head up the mountain quickly. Going from the one resort to the next, however, sometimes requires a small rail or coach ride. Grindelwald to Mürren, for instance, necessitates jumping on transport, as Mürren is not lift linked. There are 81 total slopes and one maximum vertical drop of nearly 2200 meters over 16 km. The blue runs have 70 km, the red runs 105 km and the black runs 19 km. If it feels as if intermediates get unfair and better treatment, it’s just that most skiers are neither expert nor beginners but somewhere between. One ski pass gives total access to the entire Jungfrau region, with the Bern airport only 70 km away and the railway dropping skiers and snowboarders off at any one of three onsite train stops.

Jungfrau - Grindelwald, Murren and Interlaken Accommodation:

Two- to five-star hotels await those who cannot wait to hit the slopes. The hotels and apartments in the Jungfrau area of Switzerland have so much to offer, it is hard to list all the available amenities here. Panoramic mountain views, lakeside cottages and chalets and independent lodges and hostels are just a smidgen of the top choices. Some of the accommodation offer spa and massage services while others have onsite bars, discos, restaurants and activities; some have it all. Lake Lodges, Backpacker hotels, and family centered chalets are just the tip of the glacier in Jungfrau.

Jungfrau Interlaken : A Ski Vacation Between The Lakes

Up in the canton of Bern in Switzerland lies one of the most attractive skiing destinations in Europe - Interlaken - the name a derivative of inter lacus or "between the lakes", referring to the Thun and Brienz Lakes on either side of the town. Interlaken is quite small, but tourist, skiers, backpackers and hikers tramp through to take in the beautiful scenery, especially the jumbo Jungfrau at 4158 meters in the distance. The small town surprisingly has two funicular railways and two railway stations. Interlaken is part of The Jungfrau Top Ski Region, encompassing over 160 km of trails. The median ski run length is six to twelve kilometers, offering a different ski area for each day of the week, accessible with the Jungfrau Sportpass. Beginners have 30%, intermediates have 50% and advanced have 20% of the ski slopes. The skiing is unsurpassed and the beauty is unforgiving. The summer brings a plethora of water sport enthusiast.

Interlaken Accommodation:

Interlaken hotels consistently receive good reviews in favor of the cleanliness of the accommodation, the accessibility of the slopes and the views of the surrounding scenery. Any one of the Interlaken lodges is a great place to spend the evening, though with luxury comes, of course, a Swiss price. Some reasonable prices emerge come low season.

Jungfrau Wengen: An Active and Unbeatable Ski Holiday

The Jungfrau Region in Switzerland is renowned for its varying levels of ski slopes and nature. A Wengen ski vacation in the Jungfrau region yields 100 km of groomed pistes. Wengen is an enjoyable place for beginners, as there are roughly 75 ski teachers teaching in all the European languages. Wengen is a treat for families because of kindergarten classes that can last a half to a full day - getting away from the kids has never been so easy and trustworthy. Wengen hotels are equipped with everything from billiards to bowling alleys, saunas to solariums. When tired of downhill, there are nearly 20 km of cross country skiing routes near Lauterbrunnen. Heli-skiing or simple helicopter sightseeing trips are affordable. Moreover, indoor swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts keep habitués busy while others hit the outdoor escarpments. In summer, Wengen is a hiker’s dream with over 500 km of marked hiking trails; there are folklore shows, outdoor theatres, markets and culture to spare. Young and elderly alike can enjoy a week or two in Wengen.

Wengen Accommodation:

Wengen has a wealth of dormitories for snowboarders, alpine hotels for families, apartments for friends, and full-board hotels for everyone in between. Additionally, there are plenty of beds to go around during high and low season, with pricing equivalent to other Swiss ski resorts. 796 2971 213 81 105 70 35 0 /en/switzerland/jungfrau-grindelwald-wengen-murren-interlaken/images/jungfrau-grindelwald-wengen-murren-interlaken_1_picture.jpg

Saint Moritz – Engadin – Ski Vacations Geared To Intermediates

The resort of Saint Moritz is part of the Engadin ski area, as many other ski resorts in the area are part of the same ski pass opening up a world of possibilities—such as Aela, Maloja-Furtschellas, Sils-Corvatsch, Piz Nair, et cetera—and 350 km of skiing opportunities. The closest airport to Saint Moritz-Engadin is Milano (Milan) in Italy, roughly 175 km away. Saint Moritz skiing in general is well-catered to intermediate and advanced skiers; however, many of the beginning slopes will get quick learners up to red skiing in no time. There are 88 total ski runs with all the other resorts included. The longest of any slope skiable here is 11 km, losing around 1500 meters of altitude. The piste breakdown, as hinted earlier, tips the scales to red skiers—they get 245 km of the 350 km and 61 of the 88 total slopes—incredible! Blues get 70 km and only 18 of the 88 total ski runs. Black runs, though receiving only 9 total runs over 35 km, are still very challenging and can take weeks to conquer. The skiing areas start at 1800 meters and top off at 3303 meters, with the resort sitting just 50 meters above the lowest altitude at 1850 meters. Snowboarding is treated with open arms in Saint Moritz Engadin. In fact, they were one of the first to host the Snowboard World Championships back in 1987! Snow parks, half pipes, wave rides, cross, mumps and boxes and then some await chronic snowboard addicts.

Saint Moritz Engadin Accommodation:

Three and four-star hotels and lodges await those interested in testing the frozen winter tundra of St. Moritz. There are some lofty apartments with views a little outside of the town center. Chalets and more personal lodges are also readily available. The impressive and affordable “sport” hotels know how to pamper hardcore skiers and boarders. 1800 3303 350 88 245 70 35 0 /en/switzerland/saint-moritz-engadin/images/saint-moritz-engadin_1_picture.jpg

Verbier - 4 Vallées

Verbier – Les 4 Vallées – Ski Holidays For Couples, Families & Pros

Verbier – Les 4 Vallées is by and large one of the biggest interlinked ski resorts in all of Europe, and the surprising reality is that all of it lies entirely within Swiss borders. Verbier has other linked resorts just moments away by the integrated lift system. One ski pass, then, gives admission to Nendaz, Veysonnaz, Thyon, and Mont Fort—that’s over 330 km of ski runs. The resort and lowest skiable piste lies at 1500 meters; the highest lift goes all the way to the top at 3330 meters, with a vertical drop of over 15 km possible, which is equivalent to dropping out of an airplane for over 2500 meters! Additionally, beginners and intermediates will have the most runs, while experts will have the most challenging they may have ever faced. The slope dissection looks something like this: 19 blue runs spread over 135 km; 20 red runs spread over 170 km and 5 black runs spread over 26 km. There are 17 lifts capable of transporting upwards of 40000+ skiers per hour. One lift dubbed “Le Jumbo” in particular can carry 150 people in one go to Mont Fort (glacier).
Snowboarding in Switzerland has always been welcomed with open arms (and pistes). Verbier – Les 4 Vallées is by no means any different. Here, the La Chaux 1936 Neipark—with beginner, intermediate and professional slides, boxens, jumps and tablets—is probably the most famous. The annual Xtreme ski and snowboard invites 30 of the world’s best riders to participate for first place. Don’t think that pros can just jump in—this race is for invites only, meaning only the better of the best are invited to ski and board.

Verbier – Les 4 Vallées Accommodation:

Many of the hotels in the Verbier area are either very close to a town center or just a few steps from the lifts. In either case, the lodges provide free shuttle service for both pick-up and drop-off. The apartments and chalets in the area can be had for a good price, especially if either pre-booked or booked during one of the slower times of the year. Winter festivities and summer horse riding, mountain bike and 4 x 4 races keep an influx of visitors almost any time of the year. 1500 3330 331 78 170 135 26 0 /en/switzerland/verbier-4-vallees/images/verbier-4-vallees_1_picture.jpg

Zermatt

Zermatt - Switzerland’s Number One Ski Vacation Destination

Zermatt is Switzerland’s top skiing resort destinations. Visited by locals and foreigners from far-flung lands alike, Zermatt’s inescapable beauty and snowcapped slopes make it hard to beat. A Zermatt hotel, for instance, will offer views of the Matterhorn or give perspectives of the 28 other surrounding peaks.

The highest slopes always have more than enough powder, while the lower slopes get blasted with snow cannons when necessary. The highest skiable altitude in Zermatt is 3899 meters, with the lowest at 1620 meters. Additionally, there are 121 ski runs branching out for 313 km. The longest slope is 21 km, so it is no wonder people take a bus from the Bern airport, 130 km away (with direct bus linking the two).

Zermatt, additionally, used to boast year round skiing with its 1000 meter glacier. Today, though, the summer skiing may be a thing of the past with global warming taking its toll on the surrounding ice.

Snowboarding in Zermatt is also very trendy with plenty of pro and amateur parks to ride.

Zermatt Accommodation: Zermatt skiing is only made possible because of all the hotels for visitors. Chalets, apartments and alpine-esque houses make any stay here comfortable and relaxing. By the way, Zermatt is a car free resort - if you’re hotel window faces the street, it still will be quite quiet. Zermatt can suit any visitor, coming for a few weeks to a few days.

Zermatt is rich in its ability to offer a wide range of winter activities other than skiing and snowboarding. Winter walking, tobogganing, snowshoe hiking, ice climbing, skating and hockey and curling are also available as well as paragliding. You’ll never see Zermatt the same way again; in free flight, with a bird’s eye view, floating on nothing but the wind, you will see Zermatt in a completely new light. 1620 3899 313 121 188 69 56 0 /en/switzerland/zermatt/images/zermatt_1_picture.jpg
