What to expect from a luxury skiing holiday in Switzerland

Swiss ski resorts are internationally recognised as the ultimate alpine retreat, attracting celebrities, royalty, and luxury travellers from around the world. With miles of ski slope linking you to France, Italy, and Austria. 

Verbier

Verbier is best suited to intermediate and advanced skiers and is not typically recommended for first-time skiers, though it remains family-friendly with dedicated beginner areas. Renowned for its high-calibre, spacious chalets, it is an excellent choice for large groups and corporate ski trips. The skiing ranges from family-friendly Savoleyres to challenging runs such as Mont Fort, and off-piste back country, all complemented by a lively après-ski scene and excellent 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 iconic Swiss 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 historic 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 designer shops to enjoy as well as winter sports on the frozen lake, 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 winter sports events from polo to cricket.
