St Luc and neighbouring Chandolin are just two of the five resorts which make up the beautiful area known as the Val d'Anniviers. Both resorts are easily reached from Geneva in 2 hours (by car) or 2.5 hours by train. The resorts lie above the town of Sierre deep in the Swiss Alps and as yet remai...

St Moritz is situated in the heart of the Engadine valley, on the southern side of the Alps near the Italian border and is probably one of the best-known resorts in the world. Its sparkling dry climate is famous and not only is St Moritz known as the birthplace of winter tourism and modern Alpine...

There is no doubt that Verbier offers some great skiing although this is mostly for advanced skiers looking for tough mogul runs and off-piste terrain. Those looking for gentle runs the piste skiing at the far end of the ski system around Les Collons, Veysonnaz and Nendaz is ideal. However, these...

Nendaz is an attractive village set on a large plateau above the town of Sion in the Rhone Valley. It is surprisingly large for a ski resort (17,000 holiday beds) that is relatively unknown by the British and its facilities are more in line with those of many much bigger ski stations. The ski...

Villars sits at an altitude of 1,300 metres and is located on a sunny plateau just to the south of Lake Geneva. This resort is a real suntrap. Villars (and adjoining Les Diablerets) is one of those resorts that is often and unfairly overlooked by British skiers when choosing a destination for ...

Wengen, which is set on a high shelf above the Lauterbrunnen valley, is a pretty, traditional, traffic free alpine village. The local scenery is some of the most beautiful in the entire Alps (the famous Eiger, Jungfrau and Monch mountains) and much of the skiing can only be reached by cog railway...

Zinal and neighbouring Grimentz are located in the Val d'Anniviers, a side valley near the Valais town of Sierre. This valley is about half between Verbier and Zermatt, as the crow flies and in fact from some of the skiing there are views of the Matterhorn mountain in Zermatt. Zinal is a cute and...
