I and my friend had private lessons with Jack over two consecutive days in Zermatt and we could not have been happier. Even though I and my friend were at different levels, Jack managed to keep us both engaged in the lessons and has definitely brought a lot of improvement in our snowboarding skills. He was very easy to talk to, he cared a lot for our safety and comfort on the slopes and he managed to always keep us smiling and positive. I highly recommend him if you want to have an amazing day on the slopes and learn a lot in quite a small amount of time. Looking forward to doing this again!

Premier Alpine Centre is conveniently located at the bottom of the funicular that takes you straight up to the main Nendaz gondola Tracouet. If you opt for the storage option, your ski days are very easy just coming off the gondola or skiing down, straight into the shop and putting your street shoes on, leaving your ski gear there overnight. The staff are very friendly, and they were very helpful in fitting boots for my children and getting all of our skis. There is also a lot of ski clothing and kit onsite in case you have forgotten anything at home or if your little one has lost a glove on the slopes. We highly recommend this ski rental shop for anyone skiing in Nendaz.

The ski resorts of Flims, Laax and Falera are combined into one magnificent winter playground for skiers and snowboarders.
Reviewed By SteveT185 - Montreal, Canada
Great ski hill(s)! The Flims/Laax/Falera ski resort is an off-piste skier or snowboarders dream, you can basically go down in almost any direction. Not many expert ski runs but this is offset by the extensive off-piste. We skied 1700 vertical feet on one run! Of course, it helped that the ski conditions were excellent this year. However, they also have excellent snow making capabilities and generally keep the runs down to 1100 metres open every season. The lift system is excellent and connects you easily to all areas and you can get back from the remotest areas with 2 lifts maximum. Nice chalets on the hill and we particularly liked Alp Nagan hut and the hut at Curnius. Overall, an excellent ski experience for all.

Great location for those wanting to stay in Andermatt for a reasonable price. It's located a short walk from the Gemsstock lift and nearby shops. The lodge is very nicely furnished with comfortable rooms, a spacious kitchen, living room and sauna. Lars was a brilliant host during our stay, we will definitely be coming back!

A huge area with great slopes, from easy blue ones to black ones from the summit of the Weissfluhgipfel, calls for great ski holidays for the whole family. Picturesque panoramic views and snow of great quality will make sure you enjoy your time. One of my fav ski destinations!
8. Arosa Ski Resort

The snow-safe snow sports region Arosa Lenzerheide convinces with 225 groomed slopes on up to 2865m above sea level. Wide slopes for carvers or steep hills leaving burning legs make the hearts of winter sports fans beat faster. Mountain adventures such as SnowNight, full moon descent or EarlyBird create very special slope experiences. More than 40 cosy mountain restaurants and huts spoil you with a large choice of delicacies and sun terraces with spectacular views.

10. Matterhorn Glacier Paradise
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,393 reviews
What does an Alpine paradise look like? Probably quite like Matterhorn glacier paradise. The peak with Europe’s highest mountain station soars 3'883 metres above sea level. The peak lift takes you up to the 360º viewing platform. The view from there is like paradise. You can see an incredible 38 four-thousand-metre peaks and 14 glaciers. And a must-see in Zermatt’s glacier paradise: a real glacier palace. Up above, there is a cinema lounge, fine cuisine, superb ski slopes and a little lower, on Trockener Steg or Schwarzsee, hiking and biking trails. And on top of that many unforgettable experiences the whole year round ...

The day that we spent at The Matterhorn Glacier paradise (and Gornergrat with our Peak to Peak pass) was prob our best in Switzerland. The views atop this mountain paradise were out of this world...the cable cars to get up there?!?! Magnificent... We loved the viewing stations, tunnel through the glacier with ice sculptures and restaurant up there. The movie area with short films about the area was also really neat, we watched them all. Some people might think this area is just for skiers, but it is not. We rode up in gondolas full of skiers, but we rode down alone and really enjoyed the views. Take your time and do the Peak to Peak ticket bundle if you can. We saved 50% because we had a Swiss Travel Pass. Getting up to the top is not cheap, but it is WORTH IT.
