Switzerland's ski resorts are renowned for their world-class slopes, luxurious accommodations, and stunning Alpine scenery. Iconic destinations like Zermatt, St. Moritz, and Verbier offer pristine skiing experiences for all levels.
However, hidden gems such as Arosa, Andermatt, and Laax attract those seeking quieter, less commercialized settings with equally impressive landscapes. These lesser-known resorts boast uncrowded slopes, charming villages, and excellent après-ski, making them perfect escapes for adventurous skiers and nature enthusiasts alike.

Verbier
Nearest Airport: Geneva
Altitude: 1500m (1 hr 55 mins)
With its sunny slopes, devastating scenery, exciting skiing and lively après ski, Verbier, Switzerland, is rightly lauded as one of the must-visit resorts in the world - even having been awarded the title of the World's Best Ski Resort by the World Ski Awards for the second year in a row. Its proximity to Geneva makes it a fashionable destination for well-heeled weekenders from the city as well as affluent international visitors who come as much for the buzz as for the superb and challenging ski area. Also, Verbier is the principal resort in Switzerland's extensive 4 Valleys (4 Vallées) ski domain increasing the resorts appeal.

Zermatt
Nearest Airport: Milan (4 hrs 15 mins)
Altitude: 1608m
Located at the base of the Matterhorn, Switzerland's instantly recognizable worldwide emblem, Zermatt is one of the most enchanting places on earth, and it's just as popular in the summer as it is during the winter ski season.
Although a large portion of Zermatt's terrain is suitable for ambitious intermediate skiers, the skiing is on a grand scale, and even non-skiers may use many of the ski lifts to access the breathtaking views and excellent mountain restaurants. There are extremely few locations worldwide that provide transnationally connected ski domains and Zermatt is one of them with its connections to Cervinia in Italy.
