The Swiss Alps
South of Bern and Luzern, and east of Lake Geneva, lies the grand Alpine heart of Switzerland, a massively impressive region of classic Swiss scenery – high peaks, sheer valleys and cool lakes – that makes for great summer hiking and world-class winter sports. The Bernese Oberland, centred on the Jungfrau Region, is the most accessible and touristed area, but beyond this first great wall of peaks is another even more daunting range on the Italian border in which the Matterhorn is the star attraction.
Switzerland is a skiers' fairytale, and already this season it is a magical snow globe having received plentiful powder. Picture yourself in the story book Alps, riding ski trains and trams up thousands of vertical feet, and skiing to Swiss flag-flying alpine chalets serving fondue and raclette. A Swiss ski trip must be on every skiers' "to do" list! A natural first ski stop is the legendary Zermatt.
