"…the breathtaking views in Engelberg…a kirsch-laced cheese fondu after a hard day’s skiing at the Schatzalp in Davos…skiing the gorgeous glacier run at Diavollezza in St Moritz….enjoying a steak à point at La Vacca in Flims….these are just some of things that I love about skiing our resorts in Switzerland. My favourite country to ski in Europe without question (and that’s not because I am Swiss and biased.)"
Our expert Rebecca Saunders
Skiing in Switzerland
Switzerland is the perfect destination for a quick and flexible ski or boarding trip - whether this is for a ski weekend, a short break or a week's holiday. We have specifically chosen five exceptional ski resorts - Davos, Klosters, Engelberg, Flims Laax and St Moritz all offering fantastic skiing for all abilities with a short transfer from Zurich. It is also a great destination for a group trip.
We can tailor-make a holiday to suit your individual requirements using these elements:
- direct scheduled British Airways and Swiss flights to Zurich from Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Manchester, Birmingham and Dublin (economy or business class flights);
- transfer to the resort by private transfer, rail or car hire; and
- then all you have to do is choose a hotel - we offer a range of 3-5* hotels - ask for our advice on which will suit you best.
We have also negotiated preferential rates on equipment hire and tuition and can include these items in your package. For ski passes we recommend that you purchase these direct from the hotel on arrival so that you don't have to queue at the lift station on your first morning.
So... have a look at the resort and hotel links and then call and speak to Rebecca on 01273 224 060 or send her a quotation request.

Half a week's skiing with only one day off work...
With a bit of planning, you can take the minimum time off work and have half a week's skiing. Here's how to do it:
Thursday - Leave work at normal time. Catch an evening flight from your chosen airport (we recommend London City airport if you work in London for ease and convenience). Arrive at Zurich, meet your private transfer or pick up your car to take you direct to your hotel. Depending on your flight time, you should arrive at your hotel between midnight and 1am.
Friday - Ski all day
Saturday- Ski all day
Sunday - Ski until 4pm, pick up your private transfer or drive back to Zurich and catch an evening flight back. Return feeling refreshed and revitalised!
