Intro

Switzerland is the ultimate winter paradise: whether on the slopes, in deep snow, the halfpipe, or on cross-country trails – here, winter is celebrated in all its forms. Kilometers of winter hiking trails and culinary highlights await discovery. Everything is close together and easily accessible by public transport. Behind each offering are people who have made the Swiss winter their passion – their stories are as diverse and impressive as winter itself.

A change of track in Goms

The heart of Valais breathes cross-country skiing tradition. This is how things have always been. The network of cross-country ski trails in the sunny high valley stretches over 100 diverse kilometres and is suitable for all skill levels and degrees of ambition – with enjoyment along the route and direct connection to public transport included.

Cross-country skiing safari in Graubünden

The cross-country skiing safari leads visitors across Graubünden in five stages. Everything is already organised: the hotel, luggage transport, and train. Making it possible to travel through Switzerland’s largest cross-country skiing region in comfort. From one top destination to the next, this gives you time for what is really important: the “patgific” – or totally relaxed and cosy – way to discover the diversity on offer along the way, both on and off the cross-country ski trail. A travelogue from the very first kilometres.

The taste of winter

In Valais, winter becomes an all-round experience: with sunny days spent skiing, culinary highlights and alpine flair all coming together to create an authentic winter dream come true. Both on and off the slopes, Valais shows off its best side – with outstanding ski resorts and regional cuisine at a high level, framed by Valais hospitality. Champéry, for example, impresses with its traditional charm and direct access to one of the largest ski resorts in the world.

White Carpet Engadin

If you’re one of the first to hit the slopes early in the morning, you’re sure to be struck by the picture-perfect surroundings as you make your tracks through the pristine snow. The sharp grooves on the slope are still very fresh – milled in the silent darkness of the night. The “White Carpet” in the Engadin’s ski resorts is more than just a well-groomed slope. It is a great work of art, shaped by decades of experience and state-of-the-art technology. A silent stage for your first skiing experience of the day.
