Switzerland ski holidays

This is where it all began and today Switzerland is still where the action is, offering the best skiing in the whole of the Alps combined with a long tradition of good service, quality and reliability.

Swiss ski resorts have it all - majestic mountains, superb skiing, excellent ski schools and plenty of great mountain restaurants. Many of our Swiss ski resorts are easily reached by the excellent transport network, making it the ultimate destination for flexible ski travel.

On the whole, Switzerland resorts have a lot to offer from excellent skiing slopes to non-ski activities, local and cosy restaurants and entertaining night-life.

Ski info

High-altitude resorts, some of Europe’s most famous and challenging runs, and plenty of excellent intermediate pistes. The lift networks can be quite old but they keep queues and bottlenecks to a minimum.

Food & drink

It may be pricey, but Switzerland’s home to some of the world’s best mountain restaurants. And even the average lunch is more likely to be rösti or raclette than burgers, all accompanied by good-quality wines and beers.

Hotels & accommodation

Swiss resorts are typically chocolate-box pretty and full of traditional-looking wooden buildings and churches, but they come with a surprising range of self-catering apartments and half-board hotels that span from two to five stars.
