What to expect from a luxury skiing holiday in Switzerland

Verbier

Verbier is an excellent choice if you are travelling with a group of mixed-ability skiers. From

the family-friendly slopes of Savoleyres, all the way to the challenging black runs such as Mont Fort, Verbier has something to offer all levels of skier. It also boasts a lively après-ski scene and is home to many superb restaurants.

Zermatt

Zermatt is a snow-sure ski area with staggering scenery and enough on and off-piste terrain for even the most established skiers. With views of the Matterhorn adding an extra touch of extravagance and alpine charm, Zermatt offers a real buzz both day and night, with links to the Italian border for the explorers amongst your group. Although Zermatt hosts a fair selection of slopes for the less experienced, it should be noted that it is much more suited to experienced skiers rather than beginners.

St Moritz

Another Swiss ski resort offering stunning skiing conditions, plentiful pistes, and gorgeous views, is St Moritz. A good selection of easy, intermediate and difficult slopes makes St Moritz a good choice for mixed abilities. With restaurants, bars and shops to enjoy as well as snow-sure slopes, it's no wonder St Moritz makes our list of unforgettable luxury ski resorts in Switzerland. Highlights of St Moritz include well-groomed cross-country ski trails, an Olympic ice rink, and a frozen lake hosting events from polo to cricket.

Luxury skiing in Switzerland - The history

Switzerland is known for being one of the first countries to offer winter tourism, capitalising on its ideal location, stunning scenery, and a myriad of ski resorts. Understated elegance and serene surroundings have seen skiers return again and again, with first-class service, the highest quality food and drinks, and vistas and mountainscapes that are unmatched.

Switzerland has seen visitors from as early as the late 19th Century, with ski resorts still offering the same glorious views and stunning snowscapes today.

December - Switzerland at Christmas is a sight to behold - indulge in the Christmas spirit surrounded by alpine bliss, and even bring in the New Year in the mountains!

January - Perfect for plenty of snowfall and to brush away the January blues with quieter slopes.

February - February offers optimum snow conditions and is a perfect time for families to get away and make the most of the school break.
