3-    Davos – Klosters

Davos-Klosters, one of the oldest ski areas in the Alps, is a traditional tourism destination. Mid-19th century At the beginning of the 19th century, people began to become a climatic health resort and the appeal of the highest city in the Alps remains unbroken to this day. Davos is located at approx.1500m. Sea level (monastery at 1200m.), which guarantees us snow and enables safe skiing well into spring. This means that not only health and congress tourism is expanding here, but all types of winter sports are also being practiced at all times. Davos has a great tourist structure, so guests can never get bored in addition to winter sports. There is a large selection of restaurants and bars here, so that in the evening you will be spoiled for choice in one of the many award-winning restaurants, from modern cuisine to Swiss specialties.

If you are a skier or snowboarder, you will get your money's worth in this region because the six "magic mountains" together have slopes totaling approx.Offer 300km. The Parsenn ski area is the classic, which can be accessed from both Davos and Klosters. This ski area has excellently developed, modern lifts and the area offers excellent slopes of all levels of difficulty. At the start of this area, we recommend heading to the Parsenn Hut, which is located in the center, as you can find out about the best slopes from here. The Totalpbahn runs over some exciting carving slopes and if you like it a little steeper, go to the Furkla or the Seetäli. If you are looking for the thrill of the black slopes, you should go to the highest point in the area, namely the Weissfluh summit with its height of 2884m. from where two great “black” routes will take you back to the Weissfluhjoch.

On the opposite side of the valley from Davos lies the second largest area in Davos, namely the Jakobshorn. This sun terrace is particularly popular with skiers and snowboarders above the tree line. This area was specially equipped for snowboarders in the 80s, so you can have virtually every wish fulfilled here on your board. But the Jakobshorn also has a lot to offer skiers and, especially in the afternoons, you can enjoy the winter sun on one of the many terraces.

If you would like something a little quieter, you should choose one of the four other, slightly smaller ski areas. The first “decelerated” ski area is the Schatzalpe, where you can simply ski in a relaxed manner instead of fast, far and high. Here, on the drag lifts, the bar is still held by hand and recreational skiers will especially love this area.

Families feel particularly at home in the Madrisa (near Klosters) or Pischa (near Davos) ski areas, as the little ones can have fun in the children's area while the older ones ski on the beautiful slopes. The Pischa ski area should not be missed by ambitious freeriders, as only a few pistes are groomed here, so you can experience even more off-piste fun. The insider tip we got from the locals is that you should see the Rinnerhorn, which is a little out of the way. Challenging slopes also await skiers in this ski area.

4-    Zermatt

Skiing and snowboarding all year round, there is hardly any snow 365 days apart from Zermatt.

The ski area in Zermatt is divided into several sections. These are Rothorn-Blauherd-Sunnega, Gornergrat, Matterhorn Glacier Paradise and, from Italy, Cervinia. All areas are now so connected that it doesn't matter which train you use in the morning. In the morning you either board the Gornergratbahn and travel comfortably over Riffelalp and Riffelberg to Gornergrat, or you take the continuous train from Winkelmatten without changing via Furi, Schwarzsee and Furgg up to Trockener Steg. Here you have the large plateau on the Theodul Glacier in front of you, which offers you wide and flat slopes.

Small note: The summit station, located on the Klein Matterhorn, is the lift station with the highest elevation in Europe. The brand new 3S gondola lift (went into operation in winter 2018/2019) is certainly one of the most spectacular cable cars in Switzerland. If you ski down from the Klein Matterhorn, it's not particularly interesting, but you do have impressive views of the glacier world and a very wide terrain in front of you. This is a real challenge for the endurance freaks, because you climb over 2000m on the descent from the Klein Matterhorn to Zermatt. Back. To do this, if your legs allow it, you have to cover 15km in one slide. cover the distance. If you plan to do this, you should divide your strength well on the flat slopes, because it gets steep and demanding, especially down between Furgg and Zermatt.

In Zermatt, the summer ski area on the Theodul Glacier offers slopes of up to 20km. Here you have the opportunity to relax alongside the national Alpine ski teams from all over Europe who train here.

The Zermatt ski area fulfills almost all wishes, which all experts agree on. But the fun doesn't come cheap, as the ski pass is one of the most expensive in the Alps. The increasing number of Asian and other international guests quickly caused prices in the hotels to skyrocket.

Saas Valley is the area where the town of Saas-Fee is located, far in the Valais and directly on the border with Italy. Tourists drive from Visp to Stalden, where instead of taking the turnoff into the Mattertal, they turn into the Saas Valley. You reach after approx.15km. Saas-Balen, which we reach from Saas-Grunds Boden. Here you turn off to Saas-Fee, which you reach after a few hairpin bends or continue a short distance to Saas-Almagell.

On the edge of the town of Saas-Fee, the road ends at the large parking lot with the parking garage. One of the advantages of this holiday destination is that Saas Fee is car-free. If you are in a quiet area, without traffic noise, the atmosphere can be very relaxing. Saas-Fee itself is still pretty quaint and has preserved a few old buildings. Many guests are aware of this fact and visit this place again and again, and not just because of the snow-sure location. Traveling to Saas-Fee by train is also very possible.

Saas-Fee is one of the best ski areas in Switzerland and is a competitor to its direct neighbor Zermatt. There has been discussion for years about whether the two ski areas should be connected or not. It is not clear whether this will actually happen. Nature would be greatly affected by this, but not as big as the one planned, a 2km. to build a long tunnel through the Allalinhorn in order to give guests from Saas-Fee a view of the Matterhorn. We hope that this plan will not come to fruition, because if the ski areas were to be connected, many new superlatives could be programmed and a huge ski area with over 450 km of slopes. would arise.

Saas-Fee summer ski area

There are very few summer ski areas in the Alps like Saas Fee. After the end of the winter ski season, there is usually a two-month break on the Allalingletscher before the summer ski area reopens in mid-July. From Saas Fee you can reach this with the Alpin Express and the Metro Alpin Bahn.
