Winter resorts

Perfect conditions: Gstaad Mountain Rides is the name of the winter sports region that extends from Zweisimmen all the way up to Glacier 3000 – the only glacier ski area in the Bernese Oberland.

Setting trends in freestyle - Haslital is into one style more than any other: freestyle. Passionately so, and for more than two decades.

Cool pistes, hot springs: There’s no shortage of excellent reasons to visit the Heidiland holiday region in winter.

Accorded UNESCO World Heritage status, fast and convenient to reach. Kandersteg is considered the northern Mecca in the Bernese Oberland. Offering expertly prepared cross-country skiing and winter walking trails, a curling hall, husky trekking and a ski jumping facility, it offers everything a northern heart- could ever yearn for. For avid skiers, there are two small but excellent skiing regions: Oeschinensee and Sunnbüel. An excursion into the neighbouring Kiental is also well worthwhile.

Klewenalp-Stockhütte enjoys a perfect setting high in the mountains of Central Switzerland.

If an original and undisturbed setting is just what you are looking for, then Klosters is the perfect place for you! At 1,200 m above sea level, Klosters has maintained an authentic village feeling.

Unlimited fun: Laax is young, trendy and dynamic. Packed with possibilities, this snowblessed winter resort offers everyone the chance to live their holidays to the full, celebrating their own style.

A place rich in winter energy: The sleepy village of Amden, close to the buzzing metropolis of Zürich, lies on a sunny terrace. It’s an energizing place, and, thanks to its manageable piste layout, particularly family-friendly.

In the 19th century, no journey through Switzerland was complete without a trip to Lauterbrunnen: the famous Staubbach falls inspired Goethe to write his poem “Song of the Spirits over the Waters”. Now, every winter, the 72 waterfalls of this valley transform into icicles – and don’t sing so much as crack and crash!

Built on tradition: At the far end of the Simmental, in one of the most beautiful valley heads in the Alps, lies the resort of Lenk. The typical Simmental chalets, along with the local traditions – very much alive here – give the village an unmistakable charm.
