Switzerland Ski Holidays
Switzerland ski holidays are luxurious and run with classic Swiss efficiency. Go skiing in Switzerland for wonderful hospitality and some of the world’s most iconic peaks.
Your Perfect Ski Holiday to Switzerland
For many Britons, Switzerland is the home of skiing. It was here, in the early years of the last century, that Britain’s Henry Lunn organised the world’s first package ski holiday to Wengen ski resort. His son, (later Sir) Arnold Lunn arranged the world’s first-ever ski slalom race across the valley in Mürren in 1922.
The word Switzerland is synonymous with service; the trains and ski lifts adhere rigidly to pre-ordained timetables and hospitality and service in hotels, bars, and restaurants is nothing if not efficient.
The Swiss resorts are amongst the most picturesque in the world; rarely purpose-built, most have developed from quiet, mountain villages and whilst these attractive resorts are now buzzing with life, they have retained their traditional Alpine charm. Many have car-free village centres, where pedestrianised, cobbled streets are lined with boutiques, restaurants, and bars, and in the Jungfrau ski area, some resorts are still accessed via the old cogwheel mountain railway.

About Our Swiss Ski Holidays
Skiing in Switzerland
Home to some of the world’s most iconic peaks, including the Matterhorn, there is some serious skiing and scenery to enjoy in Switzerland. Most resorts are high and relatively snow-sure, with excellent off-piste skiing. The ski resorts in Switzerland cater well for children, with excellent ski schools and dedicated learning areas. For experts, Verbier has some challenging ski terrain, easily accessible thanks to an array of well-linked lifts to take skiers to the best off-piste runs.

Ski Resorts in Switzerland
From world-famous Zermatt and Verbier to hidden gems such as Grindelwald, Switzerland ski resorts come in all shapes and sizes. Zermatt is dominated by the epic Matterhorn Mountain and is home to a fantastic range of winding slopes split into four areas across the resort. Perhaps Switzerland’s most popular ski resort, Verbier attracts a vibrant clientele and offers terrific ski conditions, as well as great après ski.
The Four Valleys ski area in Switzerland has superb skiing. If you’re looking for something different, try one of the ski resorts in the Bernese Oberland; Adelboden, Gstaad, Mürren, and Wengen. Between the snow-drenched peaks are charming chocolate box villages with wooden chalets. Mürren and Wengen are both car-free, so your journey to the resort will feature a scenic cog-wheel train around the snowy Alps.

Activities in Switzerland
There’s plenty to do that isn’t skiing in Switzerland. Ski resorts in the country have an excellent range of activities to explore when visiting during winter. Switzerland is known for its scenic train journeys to the mountains, so why not travel to winter wonderland by rail for a truly unique journey?
Many of the ski resorts in Switzerland also have the typical Alpine experiences you’d expect. Try ice skating, tobogganing, or even ice karting. For incredible views of the Matterhorn mountain, book a private helicopter ride in Zermatt. There are so many options to create unforgettable memories during your ski holiday.
Après Ski in Switzerland
Après ski in Switzerland tends to be a more sophisticated affair than its neighbours in France and Austria. In Switzerland, expect to enjoy a glass of wine in a more peaceful setting as you watch skiers take their final turns of the day.
That isn’t to say, if you seek a more lively atmosphere, it is still possible to find a pumping bar or nightclub. However, the typical après scene consists of wine bars and cocktail clubs.

Food in Switzerland

Make sure to indulge in some delicious local dishes that will fuel your skiing for the afternoon, such as rösti or fondue made with local cheese. Don’t miss sampling the famous Swiss chocolate while you’re there either.
