Graubünden:
The largest of the Swiss cantons presents itself as very versatile: varied ski areas, such as Flims-Laax-Falera, numerous spa facilities, world-famous ski resorts like Davos, St. Moritz or Samnaun, combined with first-class Swiss cuisine! It is not in vain that celebrities from all over the world come here year after year to enjoy the perfect winter holiday.
Wallis:
Wallis – a versatile winter paradise! Imposing backdrops of peaks, ice and snow: the highest mountains in Switzerland, crowned by the Matterhorn, stand here. The largest alpine glaciers are here as well, among them the Aletsch glacier, and impressive ski regions such as 4 Vallées, Saas-Fee and Les Portes de Soleil. Snowy forests and cosy, old wooden houses round off the breathtaking scenery.
Central Switzerland:
Central Switzerland stretches over five cantons - and the winter sports regions, stretching over rocky and icy highlands to the far hill country, are correspondingly diverse. The ski area Engelberg is located in the middle of the high Swiss Alps and is characterised by the imposing peak of the Titlis, which entices skiers and boarders from all corners of the world!

If you've decided on a winter holiday in Switzerland, you really have a great choice of ski huts, bars, casinos and party locations on hand. You also have various relaxing and sporting opportunities available : use of a sauna, massages, fitness centres, heli skiing, horse-drawn sleigh rides, ice skating, tobogganing, squash, badminton and bowling are just a few examples. Most of the larger ski areas also offer a varied programme of activities, including torch runs, ski races for guests, ski tours and night time snowshoe hikes. Every ski area has a wide range of restaurants pubs and snack bars available, where you are sure to find something to suit everyone's taste. When you think about food and drink in Switzerland, the first thing that usually comes to mind is famous Swiss cheese. Therefore it's not surprising that cheese fondue and Raclette originate from Switzerland. You will not find a ski resort that doesn't offer both these specialities. Switzerland is also world-famous for producing top quality chocolate. Further Swiss specialities include Rösti, Bündnerfleisch (a type of dried meat), Zürcher Geschnetzeltes (veal stew from Zurich), carrot cake and swiss muesli. |
