Switzerland is home to some of the world’s most iconic ski resorts, offering breathtaking alpine landscapes, top-tier slopes, and unparalleled hospitality. From the legendary runs of Zermatt and Verbier to the glamorous appeal of St. Moritz, skiers of all levels can enjoy perfectly groomed pistes and thrilling off-piste terrain. With its charming mountain villages, world-class accommodations, and vibrant après-ski culture, Switzerland promises an unforgettable winter escape.
Gstaad, popular as a winter-time celebrity playground, encompasses multiple mountains holding vast expanses of varying terrain, ideal for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. With its network of chairlifts, gondolas, and t-bars, the resort region, known collectively as Gstaad Mountain Rides, ensures that intrepid winter sports enthusiasts can uniquely glide from Gstaad to nearby villages, and back again. In summer, the same mountain pathways – dotted with wildflowers and bell-collared cows – welcome hikers and mountain bikers, too.
Swiss chalet architecture takes a sophisticated turn at Six Senses Crans-Montana. Dark neutral tones and natural textures define this stylish, 78-room resort, which offers ski-in/ski-out access to the Cry d’Er gondola and one of Switzerland’s largest ski areas. Follow a day of Alpine play with a restorative treatment at the vast Six Senses spa; choices range from high-touch therapies to high-tech biohacking. Dine on Japanese fare at the signature restaurant Byakko, or go local at the all-day brasserie.
