Winter tourism in Switzerland

Wide pistes, huge halfpipes, endless deep snow – all within quick and easy reach. Switzerland is the original winter vacation destination. Treat yourself to this winter upgrade. But where? Here are some tips from Switzerland Tourism and its partners.

Winter sports & ski resorts
We have our snow-capped peaks to thank for being made of one of the world’s most popular travel destinations. Up until this very day, our mountains still captivate skiers, snowboarders, tobogganers and other winter sports enthusiasts.

Winter destinations
No matter whether you want to push yourself to the limits or would rather relax: Switzerland is well worth a visit in winter too. The sheer diversity of things it offers not only guarantees plenty of fun and action – you’ll also be able to unwind and enjoy the good things in life.

The highest winter resorts
If you want to be sure of having plenty of snow, regardless of what the temperatures are down in the valley, it’s better to go to high-altitude destinations. There you can look forward to superbly prepared pistes and pristine power slopes.

Tiny winter resorts
Is peace and tranquillity more up your street than après-ski and socialising? Then consider staying in a less-known resort – be it a small ski area or picturesque winter village. We have plenty of them to choose from.

Family resorts
Go for a walk with the kids or stand by and watch them make their first attempts at skiing – you can do this in Switzerland as well. Some of our winter areas are just perfect for families and cater to their special needs.

I need a first time.
What would you like to try this winter? A 360-degree turn in a superpipe? A night in the Igloo Hotel? Or how about llama trekking with the whole family? Get some inspiration from our gallery of 100 great experiences and ensure an unforgettable winter highlight.

Ski and Snowboarding Holidays
Wide pistes, steep gullies, huge halfpipes. More than 200 ski regions offer everything the heart desires when it comes to winter sports. Here’s a selection of hand-picked recommendations from Switzerland Tourism and its partners.
