Ski Holidays in Switzerland


Table of contents

Switzerland is a year round holiday destination. In summer there are mountains to climb, forests to explore, lakes to swim in and sail over and much more, but it is in winter that Switzerland really comes to life as the snow lays down tempting runs and pistes for skiers of all abilities to try their hands at. Skiing in Switzerland is a well-known draw, with visitors coming from Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States – and some have been doing so for over one hundred years as evidenced by the establishment of London's Alpine Club, back in 1857.

Gstaad is a stylish city, from thousand feet above sea level and therefore assured of getting excellent snow during the season and, in fact, being able to ski pretty much year round thanks to the proximity of Glacier 3000 which is a short drive away from the city. It is a highly popular ski spot with A-listers and celebrities with the likes of Prince Charles, Madonna, and Anne Hathaway.

Grindelwald

Grindelwald is a charming village in the Bernese Alps region of Switzerland. It is a base for those wanting to climb Mt Eiger, and also welcomes hundreds of skiers of all abilities every winter. If you want a day off from skiing you can give tobogganing or winter hiking a go, or simply stay near your hotel and enjoy a lazy day moving from bar to restaurant to lounge, making friends as you recover your strength to return to the slopes the next day. The picturesque region has featured in a number of films, notably in The Golden Compass and as Alderaan in Revenge of the Sith.

Practical Information about Switzerland during Ski Season

Ski Offers in Siwtzerland

  • You can get to Switzerland in a number of ways. From further abroad there are international flights coming in daily, while trains come into the country from all over Europe. An extensive network of roads allow coaches and personal vehicles to access much of the country, so you could drive yourself around if you wanted to.
  • Take plenty of layers of clothing with you, as well as a waterproof outer layer so that any tumbles into the snow wilSl not soak through and make you cold and wet! Warm hats and gloves are a must too, as well as a scarf or two.
  • Budget a decent sum of money for your expenses in Switzerland as it is not the cheapest country to visit. If your hotel deal includes meals, then you could probably get away with around fifty euros per person per day for incidentals like hot drinks, snacks and important factors like ski hire, storage and cleaning, and for lift passes and so on.
