How to snow

What could be better than hitting the slopes in splendid solitude for some freestyle skiing on the freshly -prepared piste? You’ll have the best chance to use a slope on your own for a while if you can go straight from your mountain hotel to the slope. Here is a selection of hotels that offer direct access to the slopes. This is a place in which cross-country skiers should also feel perfectly at home: 5,000 kilometers of trails extend all over the Swiss world of snow – whether centrally located or in peaceful seclusion, just as you like. And for those who don’t yet know how to ski but would like to learn how, there are any number of excellent ski schools for young and old. More tips for the snow are available here.

How to travel

The best way to travel to the ski resorts is by public transportation. It is also environmentally friendly – and with the "Snow’n’Rail ski pass" you get a discount of up to 30% on your arrival and return journey. Discounts on ski tickets, rental equipment at "INTERSPORT Rent" and overnight stays at the Swiss youth hostels are also available. Just choose a suitable place to stay online and start your winter journey.

How to après-ski

Winter sports in Switzerland are more than just physical exercise. After a day on the slopes, it’s time for a cozy get-together with a glass of wine or, for some, a party at a club. Discover the best hotels with après-ski offerings and the most attractive terraces for an early aperitif. Whether it’s in Valais, Bern or Graubünden – wherever you find yourself, you are certain to find hip and cozy places that will make your winter holidays an unforgettable experience.
