Switzerland Lift Ticket Deals

Skiing in Switzerland

Mention the word Switzerland and a skier or snowboarder can conjure up a host of images the country is famous for: Nestles and Norvartis; yodeling and alpenhorns; cheese and chocolates; rosti and raclette. But perhaps the most iconic image of Switzerland — or Schweiz, or Suisse, or Svizzera, depending on what part of the multilingual country you’re in — is the Matterhorn, the 14,692-foot pyramid that rises above the town of Zermatt. And it’s appropriate that a mountain serves as Switzerland’s go-to image: The Alps cover more than half the country — 60 percent to be exact — with 48 of those mountain peaks topping out at more than 4,000 meters (13,123 feet). And in those Alps you’ll find more than 300 ski and snowboard resorts, varying in size from the massive, 52-lift Zermatt complex to small, one-lift town hills. Among the more famed resorts are St. Moritz, Grindelwald, Wengen and Davos. Also, there are 48 resorts strewn among the Jura Mountains in the northern part of Switzerland, which provide a dividing line between the Rhine and Rhône watersheds.
