Zermatt can lay legitimate claim to belong to the list of top Swiss ski vacation destinations. The slopes below and around the Matterhorn have some of the most popular slopes that are open throughout the year. The Sunnegga is suitable for those with advanced skiing skills and the old mountain railway is an added attraction. The Gornergrat area is suitable for a group with varying degrees of experience in the sport, for it offers something for novice and professional alike. Accommodation to suit all budgets and tastes, varied cuisine and active nightlife make a Zermatt vacation go beyond skiing as well.
Jungfrau is another famous name in the world of Swiss skiing. The Eiger and the Monch accompany the Jungfrau for some of the most spectacular mountain scenery to be found anywhere. The skiing sites are connected by railway and the slopes cater to varying degrees of skiing capability. Murren and Wengen are two resorts in the Region that serve as convenient and relaxing bases for a Jungfrau skiing holiday. Wengen is completely free of cars and the ski slopes are within walking distance of most hotels. You can also ski to Grindelwald from here. Jungfrau attracts world class skiers though it can also be gentle and helpful to first-timers.
Grindelwald is an intriguing cross between a resort and a full-fledged city. Ski slopes and night clubs are both within easy reach and vacationers can look forward to active sport by day and romantic adventure at night. The Oberjoch at almost two thousand five hundred meters offers the highest skiing point in the Region. The panorama of the Bernese Oberlands is breath-taking. Hiking and rock climbing are other attractions in this premier Swiss ski destination. The area is rich in local culture and you can witness mountain farming and cheese making in and around the resort.
Interlaken is part of the Jungfrau Region but merits separate mention. It is a choice ski destination in summer and the surrounding countryside is especially beautiful even by high Swiss standards. There are many cultural shows and activities in this heavenly city and you can enjoy some outstanding Performing Arts in the evenings to go with active skiing sessions by day.
The Verbier Region is one of the most extensive skiing locations in the world. You could use some weeks enjoying a discovery of all boundaries of this wide expanse of snow. There are some slopes in this area that offer meaningful challenge to the most accomplished skiers. Though there are a number of runs to interest casual holiday-makers, it is the serious lover of skiing as a sport who can get best value from a Verbier vacation. The nightlife and dining matches the extravagance and excitement of the most difficult Verbier ski runs.
Andermatt is one of the smaller but very exclusive Swiss ski vacation destinations. The slopes are at about 1500 meters, so many of them are not easy to negotiate. The nation¡¯s army trains here for warfare. This may be taken as a measure of how difficult skiing in the area can be. However the Grossboden is suitable for beginners. There is a variety of accommodation in the local village and plenty of culture to absorb as well.
Gstaad has become better known for tennis and the glitterati than the reputation the local skiing opportunities deserve. The knowledgeable and enthusiasts are aware that the Region offers quality skiing. Gstaad is in the process of upgrading its facilities and attractions and we may expect more skiers to flock here in future. Les Diablerets is a glacier nearby with some gentle skiing opportunities. Gstaad has something for vacationers on a budget though it also lives up to its image as a place for the rich.
Davos and Engelberg are other Swiss places that are known around the world. Both have adequate and beautiful slopes to justify a complete skiing vacation in their own rights, and have plenty of other diversions as well. Beautiful scenery and the scenic town of Lucerne nearby are added attractions of Engelberg as a place to spend quality time skiing.
Since Switzerland has such a bewildering choice of excellent skiing vacation destinations, some people may find a single selection difficult. St. Moritz could be a convenient choice for them for it is chosen by Royalty and the incredibly wealthy. The slopes are varied and can keep ski lovers engrossed for days on end. The Swiss are caring people and you can find shelter and food to suit your wallet in this haven for the rich and famous.
