Switzerland is the home of the cuckoo clock, amazing chocolate, trains that run on time and perfect pristine ski slopes. If other European ski resorts are home to the concrete purpose built resort, Switzerland is home to the chocolate box chalets, some car free nestled in between pine trees and mountain lakes.
If you are looking for spectacular peaks and stunning backdrops look no further. Beautiful mountain passes, lakes and friendly locals you can’t go wrong.
Many ski resorts in Switzerland have been updated with fast and efficient ski lifts, here you will find also jumbo cable cars carrying over 150 skiers at a time . Many of the trains that climb up the mountains in the summer time double up ski lifts for the winter time, taking skiers to the very top of some of best mountains in Europe.
Switzerland is a landlocked country with the Alps and the Jura mountains surrounding what little flat area there is, made up of 26 cantons, each with their own certain rules. Switzerland is made up of 3 spoken languages being French, German and Italian. Though you will find German been spoken the most throughout Switzerland.
Even though in the last couple of years Switzerland feels more expensive than its neighbours, you still can find a good bargain. And to date (September 2012) things are improving and you are starting to get more for your money. The good thing about many Swiss ski resorts is that you do get value for money and what you get is normally 1st Class.
Skiing in Switzerland can be some of the best in Europe, you will find runs to suit all abilities and some of the best off piste in the world. Resorts offering amazing lift accessible powder are Verbier, Nendaz, Zermatt, Grimentz and Les Crosets to mention a few. If you are looking for top end resorts look no further than Zermatt, St Moritz and Gstaad.
Accommodation wise again like France and Austria you will find a mixture of very good quality hotels to 5 star mountain retreats, which boast Michelin starred restaurants. Once again ski chalets are a very popular choice for many skiers and snowboarders. You will find a good selection of private companies and very well know tour operators based in Switzerland.
