Welcome to Winter Paradise Switzerland! - Imagine seeing the Alps towering all around you and the bright sunlight sparkling over a glittering world of soft snow. Here, among the world's most famous mountains, lies a wonderland for skiers and non-skiers alike: the infinite diversity of slopes to ski and things to do creates a spot for every taste and interest. 

Switzerland offers a ski trip wonderfully unlike anything you have ever experienced before and everywhere you spot skiers descending the Alpine slopes with the enthusiasm of children who have found a new toy.
And the trails are not the only attractions: there are medieval castles speckling the horizon, sleigh rides to distant hamlets, and après-ski that is uniquely European.

Verbier - has arguably the best top class skiing/snow boarding in the Alps with endless off-piste possibilities Skiing is mainly on tree-lined runs, in large "bowls" between mountains and on the Mont-Fort glacier. The 400k slopes are best appreciated by fearless intermediates or the experienced. Off-pistes are a dream and particularly adapted to snowboarders who enjoy surfing through empty fields of virgin snow.

Zermatt - in the shadow of the Matterhorn. Horse drawn sleighs and carriages are the only means of transport. This world without motor vehicles is the ideal resort for a peaceful holiday. Anyone with some experience of skiing will be thrilled by the variety of pistes from beautifully smooth blue runs to steep mogul-fields.

Davos - A lively winter resort on the floor of the mountain valley in which the Landwasser flows offering great skiing on the Parsenn with varied ski-runs. A little over 200 miles of ski trails are served by 53 ski-lifts. Beginners slopes are also found on the Strela

Jungfrau Region - is the tourist headquarters of the Bernese Oberland and offers every conceivable possibility to skiers of various levels. Interlaken is aptly positioned at the foot of the great chain of mountains culminating with some of the highest peaks of the Alps. From here you can also ski the Wengen and Grindelwald areas  

St. Moritz - In the Grisons, St. Moritz is probably the most famous of the mountains resorts of Switzerland. Here you can find the world's oldest ski-school! Nearly 100 miles of marked trails served by 28 ski-lifts offer an incredible variety of ski opportunities.
