Under the mighty Eiger and Jungfrau mountains, this is a top alpine region. Famous for the renowned skier's village of Wengen at its heart, 213km of prepared pistes, amazing scenery and plenty of sunshine make this an exceptional location. The network of 45 lifts access 64 interlinked runs.

The Kleine Scheidegg area ranges from blacks beneath the Eiger’s north face to winding tree-lined paths. With the Wengen / Lauberhorn World Cup held here each year, it is a favourite snowsport resort for many. From Mürren the lift system provides a full variety of runs, rising to the famous James Bond Schilthorn black run that starts amidst stunning views at 2,971m. With a 2,171m descent back to Lauterbrunnen, this is the route of the world famous, 15km Inferno Race.

Glacier 3000 is one of the few destinations that already has a well-maintained Snowpark in October – and draws freestylers from around the world between the end of October and beginning of January. The ideal training spot for beginners and pro riders is one of the most spectacular in the whole region. Great moves and jumps are guaranteed: thanks to cool line rails, tanks, kicker jumps, flat tubes and a lot more.

This quaint Swiss town rests in the saddle of majestic mountains nearly 5,000 feet above the valley floor. It is the crux of Switzerland’s renowned ‘4 valleys’, a vast, interconnected web of Alpine valleys and towns that comprises over 402km of ski runs and 93 individual ski-lifts. 

Though sizable at nearly 15,000 beds, Verbier is dominated by chalet style houses and mid-size hotels, giving it a traditional Swiss feel that is at odds with the multi-storey hotel blocks and modern atmosphere typical of many French resorts.

Spectacularly located at the foot of the Matterhorn, Zermatt lies in the Valais region of southern Switzerland on the Swiss/Italian border. The resort is at the head of the steep-sided Vispa Valley at an altitude of 1600m and is surrounded by 38 of Europe's 76 peaks over 4000m. 

On the Italian side of the Matterhorn lies the resort of Cervinia. From Visp at the foot of the valley, international rail connections link up with the village of Täsch, from where a modern narrow-gauge railway takes around 10 minutes to climb the valley to Zermatt.
