Skiing in switzerland, it all runs like clockwork

Switzerland and Skiing, go together like an ice cream and a flake

Switzerland is the Rolls Royce of ski resorts. Some of the most famous ski resorts in the world are within the Swiss borders. Tthe Swiss are justifiably proud of their ski resorts, their infrastructure and the whole experience of visiting Switzerland. It is a national passion to ensure that nothing goes wrong when you are visiting Switzerland.

One of the most iconic mountains, the Matterhorn, soars above the car free town of Zermatt. The Matterhorn is better known outside of ski circles as the mountain featured on Toblerone chocolate bars.

To list the top 10 ski resorts in Switzerland would be a list that actually could go on for 15 or even 20 resorts so impressive are many of them and their offerings. In almost all cases they start from a pretty Alpine village where apres-ski activities are more than well catered for.

Excellent restaurants, some very luxurious hotels or impressive chalets where you can ski-in and ski-out are the order of the day. Switzerland is very popular during the winter so make sure you book early to get your 1st choice resort and accommodation.

The mountains provide a stunning back drop and are visible from pretty much any part of the country.

There are a number of 5 star hotels that serve the ski fields with all the facilities that you would expect from a world class destination beloved of many of the ski loving celebrities, business leaders and politicians.

If you don't want to stay in a hotel then no problem. There are a number of large and very comfortable chalets that are available for rent and these provide levels of luxury and convenience that you will certainly miss when you return home.

Zermatt is quite a unique resort. Car free, unless you are a resident. It is possible to ski here all year round thanks to the Monte Rosa glacier. Being in the shadow of the Matterhorn, it is one of the most instantly recognisable mountains in the world thanks to Toblerone.

Whilst Zermatt does cater for beginners, it is more of an attraction to those who are intermediate or expert skiers. With 360km of slopes, it has one of the more extensive ski fields to explore anywhere. And that doesn't include the off piste skiing available either.

Zermatt is a ski experience that if you are serious about skiing it is serious about you.

Davos is a great ski resort. Just don't visit when the annual World Economic Forum is in town (normally the end of January).

Like many ski resorts featured here, Davos caters for the complete mix of skiing competencies from novice through to expert.

The majority of pistes are above 2,000m which means that they are as close to be guaranteed to having snow as it is possible to be.

Davos is also a large town and so has a much greater variety of apres-ski places, hotels and other accommodation.

Closely linked with Klosters there is much to see, do and ski here.

One of the oldest and most famous of Swiss Ski resorts, St Moritz has twice hosted the Winter Olympics, although not since 1948. However the ski jump and its downhill slopes are still regularly used for World Cup events. If you have never seen a ski jump up close, then trust me, they are scary.

St Moritz is also home to one of the finest ski parks in Europe. With 30 obstacles to be overcome, the Corviglia Snow Park is a challenge not to be taken lightly. You may wish to practice first at the 2 mile Paradiso park first.

Another must try event in St Moritz is kite skiing. Yep, I'll leave that one to the more brave amongst you!

Everyone knows about Saas-Fee, or at least you may not know that you do, but you almost certainly do know of it. Saas-Fee was the setting for the video to Wham's Last Christmas single.

Saas-Fee is also very popular with families. 96km of trails for intermediates, 37km of trails for beginners and with a close by practice slope, the children and learners are also well covered. Finally don't worry if you are an expert skier as there is 23km of Black runs to keep you occupied.
