Switzerland: a world-class skiing experience

Unparalleled fun in the snow

Small but mighty impressive! The area of the country is comparatively small, but the ski resorts are incomparably diverse and stunning. No wonder that Switzerland is considered the most beautiful winter sports destination in the world by many snow sports fans.

The small alpine country has more than 300 ski resorts, 7,000 kilometres of ski runs and 5,500 kilometres of cross-country ski trails. If you are looking for the highest ski resort in Europe, you will find it in Switzerland. The Swiss Alps are also home to some of the poshest ski resorts ...

Beautiful open-plan slopes, gigantic halfpipes and seemingly endless powder snow. Top ratings for service, hospitality and cosiness. A first-class location in the heart of Europe, in the middle of the Alps. All this and more makes winter holidays in Switzerland so special and unique.

Tip: You should definitely try a real Swiss cheese fondue. Not only does it taste particularly savoury and delicious, it also puts you in a good mood – at least, that's what the Swiss say.

More about the ski resorts

Some love steep slopes, snow parks and powder snow. Others prefer quiet, wide and less challenging runs. It's good that every region in Switzerland has its own advantages, and they all cater to diverse needs and wishes. 

The highest mountains and the longest ski runs in the country can be found in Valais. The Canton of Grisons boasts the largest and most diverse ski resorts. The Bernese Oberland region is home to world-famous ski resorts and probably the most beautiful locations for winter hiking and snowshoeing in Switzerland. Eastern Switzerland, with its pristine winter landscapes, is the perfect place for cross-country skiing. The region around Lake Geneva is characterised by nature reserves and Europe's largest network of ski resorts, the "Portes du Soleil". The Canton of Lucerne and the Jungfrau region are popular with freeriders and snowboarders because of their incomparable powder snow slopes in altitudes of up to 3,000 metres. As you can see: There's something for every taste!

INTERSPORT Rent Tip

Our RENTertainers recommend

Do the prices for skiing in Switzerland put a bit of a damper on your excitement? It doesn't have to be that way! With a few easy tips, you can save money while on winter holiday: 

  • Take advantage of package deals! How about a ski week including ski pass, sauna and childcare, or how about three nights for the price of two? Many hotels offer special discounts for guests from abroad.
  • Some smaller and lesser-known ski resorts have comparatively low prices for day ski passes – for instance, Freiburg or Gstaad.
  • Make sure you get the family bonus! Little ski resorts such as Andermatt or Bruson, but also the family-friendly Aletsch Arena, help you save money by offering attractive family discounts.
  • Multi-day ski passes are usually a more budget-friendly choice than one-day passes.
  • Move the dates of your ski holiday into the cheaper low season!
  • Rent your skis online, for example at INTERSPORT Rent, and get a ten percent online discount until up to one day before pickup!
  • In some INTERSPORT Rent shops, you can get a free rental helmet for kids when you rent your children's ski equipment.

A closing remark: Considering the hospitality of the Swiss, the impeccable service and the top-quality ski resorts, a ski holiday is definitely worth the price. Not to mention, you'll never forget the stunning beauty of the Swiss Alps ...
