Ski Holidays in Switzerland
It’s no exaggeration to state that, when it comes to skiing holidays, Switzerland is ‘Ski Paradise’. You’ll be slowly drawn up jaw-droppingly beautiful (and almost impossibly steep) slopes by rickety trains into unbelievably gorgeous little skiing villages, whereupon the fun will really begin.
At Verbier, one of the country’s most famous and popular ski resorts, the off-piste skiing is astounding, and the slopes will exhaust your adrenal glands in no time. Over in the stunning resort of Zermatt, overseen by the mighty Matterhorn, you’ll not only be in a setting so beautiful that you’ll be pinching yourself to prove that you’re not dreaming, you’ll get access to the some of the best skiing the world has to offer as well. This resort will suit intermediates and experts alike – and you can conclude the day with a fine meal in one of the resort’s splendid restaurants. Less well known than Verbier and Zermatt is Saas-Fee, a resort boasting amazing glaciers, 4000 metre peaks and absolutely guaranteed snow. This resort is ideal for beginners and intermediates, but ski veterans will definitely have plenty to grapple with on these slopes as well.
Accommodation for ski deals in Switzerland can be expensive – but it’s also superb quality, with anything from 5-star hotels to family-run ‘guest house’ style businesses and luxurious chalets on offer (you’ll even find bed and breakfast options increasingly available if you are on a slightly tighter budget).
