Skiing in Switzerland
Home to some of the world’s most spectacular mountain scenery (you can’t beat the Jungfrau), Europe’s highest lifts (in Zermatt), and some of the world’s biggest ski areas (like the 4 Valleys around Verbier), the only ski area on the planet that opens its slopes 365 days a year, weather permitting (Zermatt again), the world’s original winter sports resort (St Moritz in 1864), peaceful, car-free resorts (like Saas Fee), some huge lift-served verticals, a wonderful public transport system (seamless from airport to resort) and great cheese and chocolate ... Switzerland is hard to beat.
