Switzerland ski

A catered chalet with doorstep skiing and transfers arranged before you land.

The house is the plan. We arrange the chalet, the instructors if you want them, and the evenings. Verbier for the skiing, Zermatt for the mountain, Gstaad for families.

Transfers from Geneva or Zurich are private and timed to the flight.

Where we go

Zermatt for the Matterhorn and the highest, most snow-sure skiing in the Alps; Verbier for off-piste and a lively village; St. Moritz for glamour and sun; Gstaad and Klosters for quieter, chalet-led weeks. Each resort has a different character and the choice is usually made by the party rather than the piste map.

How the week runs

Private instruction or a guide for the mornings, long lunches on the mountain, and a chalet or hotel that handles the boot room and the transfers. Non-skiing days are easy to fill: trains, spas, winter walks, and a different village each day. Transfers from Zurich and Geneva are by train or private car.

Who it suits and when

Confident skiers who want high, reliable snow, mixed-ability groups who need a resort with range, and anyone who values the Swiss train journey as part of the trip. December to April; January and March for the best combination of snow and space.

Best time
January to March for snow. December for the atmosphere. Summer for walking and lakes.
Suits
Families who need ski school and a nanny on the same morning · Groups of friends who want one house · Couples who want doorstep skiing and a quiet dinner
