- Zermatt, renowned for the iconic Matterhorn, is a paradise for solo and group adventurers. The resort offers a variety of slopes and stunning scenery. Its complex network of cable cars provides easy access to all slopes, including the highest peak in Europe, the “Matterhorn Glacier Paradise” or “Little Matterhorn.” With an international access pass, you can even explore the Italian side at Cervina. Zermatt’s Ski Safari boasts an impressive lift network, allowing you to traverse 10,000 – 12,000m in altitude.

It’s not just for professionals, though; St. Moritz also caters to beginners with slopes for all skill levels and expert instruction packages for groups and individuals. Near the family-friendly accommodations, Silvaplana provides quick access to child-friendly slopes and activities like bobsledding, tobogganing, and kite skiing.

Experience the breathtaking views from Europe’s longest gondola lift to Murren or enjoy a ride on the narrow-gauge railroad to Lauterbrunnen.
When is the best time for Switzerland ski packages?
To have the best skiing experience in Switzerland, plan your trip between October and March. In October, the higher parts of the mountains start to see a gradual return of snow, and ski resorts begin their operations.
By the end of November, most ski resorts will be open, and snow will have settled even in the lower areas of the mountains. December is an especially favorable month for skiing, as it aligns with winter vacations when many people visit the mountains with their friends and families.
While it’s important to be aware of the risk of avalanches in January and February, ski resorts prioritize safety precautions to ensure your well-being. Moreover, the snow conditions during these months are exceptionally good.
What skiing clothes should you bring?
The key to comfort and enjoyment on the slopes lies in a well-thought-out packing list that ensures you stay warm and content throughout your trip.
Let’s start with ski jackets and pants. These are essential regardless of the time of year you choose to visit. It’s advisable to purchase these before you get to the resort, but if you forget, you can buy these at the resort. If you opt for a shell jacket (one without internal padding), consider getting a down jacket to wear underneath on colder days.
Next, consider thermal base layers comprising a long-sleeved top and pants (either merino wool or synthetic alternatives). If you plan to ski every day during a week’s trip, bringing two or three tops is recommended. Thermal pants are not always necessary, especially in warmer months like March or April, but it’s better to have a pair just in case.
A fleece or synthetic mid-layer is also crucial to wear over your thermal layer. Ski socks are another must-have. Opt for quality socks that fit well, such as Merino wool ski socks (rather than inexpensive tube socks).
Waterproof ski gloves are another essential item. If you tend to have cold hands or visit during colder months, consider mittens or glove liners. And don’t forget a helmet, which is practically mandatory for skiers and snowboarders these days. While it can be rented at the resort, especially for growing children, investing in a well-fitting helmet is advisable.
Off the slopes, remember to pack weather-appropriate clothes and shoes for après-ski or rest days. This includes sturdy snow boots (mid-calf is optimal) with good tread. You might also want to pack spare shoes (such as trainers) for warmer, dry days. Regular clothing like jeans, jumpers, and t-shirts are perfect for off-slope activities. Ski resorts tend to be casual, so you probably won’t need dressy clothes. However, packing a spare jacket and a beanie for colder, snowy days is recommended. It’s always better to have options to layer up or down, depending on the weather.
