A few words about the country

Switzerland Ski Vacations: The Alps Say It All

1. An Accessible Vacation
Switzerland skiing is so popular, has been for decades, and its very central location in Western Europe has certainly contributed to it. Skiers come here for vacation, knowing the location gives them access to so many slopes, just think of Andermatt for skiing or Arosa for snowboarding.

2. The most prestigious resorts are here
Switzerland is home to the most luxurious resorts. In Saint Moritz, Zermatt and, of course, Crans-Montana, you are talking about serious deluxe Swiss ski holidays.

3. Switzerland Keeps its Visitors Busy
Saas-Fee accommodation puts you in the heart of the Saas Valley and all the outdoorsy things there are to do there. From visiting other villages like Saas-Balen and Saas-Almagell to snowboarding, snowmobiling and glacier hikes, the Saas Valley relieves anyone of boredom.

4. Ski Areas Over 3000 Meters
There are plenty of mountains to be had in Switzerland—it’s Europe’s most mountainous country, in fact. Particularly, Zermatt has three main ski areas over the 3000-meter mark. There are 200 km of ski trails and slopes too. It's skiable from September through May.

5. High Alp Switzerland Skiing
The Alps provide some of the world's best skiing. Jungfrau ski vacations in particular include ski areas over 4000 meters—Monch, Eiger and so forth. Wengen and Interlaken skiing give Switzerland that postcard look.

6. One of the Largest & Longest Glaciers
The Aletsch glacier is 22 km long, but is unfortunately shrinking with climate change. Glacial skiing used to be possible even in summer but may now be stopped for good.

7. True Alpine Forest
Switzerland hotels are not the only ones that have an alpine ambiance. The alpine forest themselves still thrive in the heights of Switzerland's forest. The Aletsch Forest near the Jungfrau skiing areas houses Switzerland's oldest trees.

8. An Array of Swiss Lodge Options
Switzerland has been in the business of housing skiers for decades. In Switzerland, apartments and hotels both have amenities we're all used to, from luxury to economical. Jungfrau and Saas-Fee hotels, as well as Zermatt lodges all invite visitors for short forays or longer stays. Saint Moritz Engadin accommodation is downright exceptional for families or a large group of friends.

9. Switzerland Ski Options Satisfy All
Switzerland has seen professionals, experts, intermediates and beginners. Nearly any one of the resorts can indulge any level skier. Several ski passes give access to more than one ski resort, many interconnected by cable cars.

10. Aprčs Ski Choices
Whether you’re a Zermatt skiing champion or a Saas-Fee snowboarding beginner, you can all meet after the slopes to pound a few back in the local bar. Or, dance clubs and discos, shopping areas and restaurants serve up the best cuisine this side of the Alps.
