The Top 5 Swiss Resorts for Your Next Ski Holiday

Switzerland is renowned for its unbeatable alpine skiing areas visited by people all over the world. With the country’s happy attitude, fresh mountain air and exceptional skiing conditions, Switzerland attracts anyone from families to solo travellers to expert skiers. These five charming resorts will be perfect for your next winter holiday.

Villars

Only 90 minutes from Geneva Airport, ski transfers can bring you directly to Villars, a beautiful resort above the Rhone Valley. On the east side of Lake Geneva, you are guaranteed snow on Glacier 3000 – a run for more confident skiers. There are 125 kilometres of pistes to explore before relaxing in the Edwardian-style chalets or experiencing the lively nightlife. Although this resort is better-suited for intermediate skiers, there are an abundance of off-piste opportunities if you want something more challenging.

Saas-Fee

Saas-Fee is located in the south-west of Switzerland in a traffic-free village lined with quaint log cabins. From Geneva Airport, ski transfers can bring you to the resort in two and a half hours. At Saas-Fee you’ll find excellent snow on the 125 kilometres of pistes. There are opportunities for skiers of every level over the four sectors. The scenery is incredible and the traditional architecture gives the resort authentic vibes.

Engelberg

Engelberg’s 1,000 kilometres of vertical skiing is what attracts the experts. However, there are 82 healthy kilometres of pistes for those less extreme. Close to Zurich, this resort is in the shadow of Titlis Massif, which has snow all year round. From Geneva Airport, ski transfers can transport you and your equipment safely to Engelberg in just over three hours.

Davos

Located four and a half hours from Geneva airport, ski transfers to Davos are made possible by Shuttle Direct. Although this is a lengthier drive, it is worth it for the 320 kilometres of pistes ranging over six sectors. It is one of Switzerland’s biggest, oldest and most snow-sure skiing areas. This charming town has some of the best shopping, dining and recreational facilities in the Alps.

Arosa

Arosa is a picturesque and secluded resort four and a half hours from Geneva Airport. Ski transfers can escort you safely to the slopes where you will find 70 kilometres of pistes, excellent snow conditions and plenty of runs for beginners and intermediate skiers. Because of the sheltered slopes, the snow stays late into the ski season giving you plenty of options of when to visit.
