Ski resorts of a special kind
Breathtaking ski resorts on 7,067 kilometres of pistes in Switzerland inspire not only holidaymakers: the Swiss themselves are real ski fans and also like to use the great infrastructure of the ski resorts with 1,813 ski lifts themselves for extensive winter fun. In the Alps, St. Moritz is considered the birthplace of winter tourism with the founding of the first ski school in 1929. Today, Switzerland is characterised by extensive ski areas that are often linked across individual regions and even national borders. The Alps cover 60 per cent of the country's surface area and provide a fantastic range of winter sports. The country's numerous ski resorts attract winter holidaymakers year after year and convince with perfectly groomed pistes, super snow conditions and a unique mountain panorama.
The ski resorts at a glance:
Davos-Klosters
In the heart of the Alps, the Davos Klosters ski hotspot combines five winter sports areas into one of the largest areas in the Alps. Here, holidaymakers will find a total of 269 kilometres of pistes and the best snow conditions on a total of 80 slopes against a fantastic mountain backdrop. A new chairlift recently connected the two ski areas of Davos and Klosters and makes it possible to use the entire ski area quickly and easily.
Jungfrau Region
Against the breathtaking backdrop of the Eiger North Face lies the Jungfrau region with long downhill runs to Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Mürren and Wengen. Skiers and snowboarders can enjoy 220 kilometres of pistes at altitudes of up to 2,970 metres. Adventurous winter sports enthusiasts will find the Grindelwald-First Snowpark, halfpipes and the Audi Skicross Park here.

That's why the ski area is also the highest in the Alps and therefore a very snow-sure region all year round.
