- Switzerland is one of the best destinations for Winter sports, especially for skiing! The Swiss Alps are full of fantastic ski resorts. Among the many, I present you Top 5 that I consider belonging to the best ski resorts of Switzerland.
The SILVRETTA ARENA at Samnaun is one that is often overlooked, while you actually should eye at it as it is one of the very best in all of Switzerland! The Silvretta Arena is a binational ski resort that allows you to switch between Switzerland and Austria. It’s very snow sure, as most of the slopes are above 2000 meters! You will have many slopes and lifts to choose, thus, much to explore. It’s best to stay here for at least 3-5 days! Samnaun is by the way easier to be reached from the Austrian side. Explore the village of Samnaun too! It’s a beautiful Swiss Winter village and also great for shopping, since it’s entirely duty-free.
The ALETSCH ARENA is located in the canton of Valais and offers you fantastic panoramas over the Swiss Alps, including the Aletsch Glacier and the iconic Matterhorn. There are three stations: Fiescheralp, Bettmeralp and Riederalp. The resort is very sunny but at the same time snow sure! Great slopes are from the Bettmerhorn down to Bettmeralp or then at Schönbiel, Riederfurka or Flesch. Bettmeralp is one of the most beautiful Winter villages of Switzerland, do walk around, especially during sunset and dusk! The best way to arrive there is by train; it stops directly at the cabin station down in Betten. It is recommended to stay at the Aletsch Arena for at least 3 days.
The PORTES DU SOLEIL is at where you can travel on ski! It’s so large that you would need more than 10 days to explore all of it. The major station on the Swiss side is at Les Crosets, at where you have numerous lifts and slopes to try out. Very nice is the Grand tour starting from Morgins heading to Champoussin, Les Crosets, Avoriaz, Châtel and then again reaching back at Morgins. Try out the probably steepest slope in the entire world: The Swiss wall. It has an incline of over 90%! Due to the incredibly large size of this ski resort it is recommended to stay here for around 5 to 7 days.
FLUMSERBERG is the perfect ski resort for one-day trips. It is easily reached by car or train from most of the regions of Switzerland. The resort is quite small but offers you many slopes. Very nice are the pine tree forest back to Tannenboden, the slope down from the Leist to Panüöl and the witch forest “Häxäwäldli”. The main peak of Flumserberg is the Maschgenkamm from where you can access most of the other parts of the resort. The perfect length of stay is 2 days; stay overnight at Tannenboden and enjoy a marvellous sunrise!
SAAS-FEE/SAASTAL is the most snow sure ski resort due to its high elevation and limited exposure. Most of the upper parts are up on the glacier, which is a very unique experience. The best peaks to visit are the Mittelallalin and Hohsaas. The major asset of this ski resort are the very long slopes; it will take you 20-30 minutes to ski down from the Mittelallalin to the village of Saas-Fee. The sunniest site of this ski resort is at Saas-Grund. Very underrated but actually perfect for skiing and less busy! The village of Saas-Fee is also suitable for non-skiers and families to visit; especially since it is car-free. In that case, consider going up for lunch at the Mittelallalin at the revolving restaurant and then explore the ice pavilion inside the glacier.
A great hotel is the Capra (sponsored content). A fantastic 5-Star Hotel that offers brilliant service and hospitality. The rooms are very cozy, the food delicious and the spa perfect for relaxation!

Have you SKIED in Switzerland? Which RESORT you like the MOST?
No I haven't. I consider myself lucky should I have d chance to visit one of d all lovely Swiss ski resorts. Surreal.
Sadly we don’t ski….but we still enjoyed the video tremendously! Would love to take the gondolas 🚠 up & enjoy the vibe & the views!! 🇨🇭❤️❄️👍🏼
@@retirementbudgettravel699 Hi Marion. I guess because it's too warm in New Mexico. Please visit the Portes du Soleil, Les Crosets and Avoriaz in France are very nice!
I was born in Switzerland but I grew up in the states. However, I had the privilege of skiing a lot in Switzerland as a child, especially St. Moritz. I went back three years ago to stay with my whole family at my aunt's chalet in Obersaxen. It was so beautiful, from the chalet to the mountains, and the skiing was great for such an un-touristic place.
Zermatt
The absolute paradise for ski and fantastic white views lovers!
Hi Elka. Thank you very much!!!
Just got back from Bettmeralp. One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen! The locals were super friendly and the food was amazing. Watching this video makes me want to turn around and go back! All the best
Hii. Thank you so much for watching this video and visiting Bettmeralp! It's a truly beautiful and calm place. Grimentz is also very nice. You may want to consider going there for skiing as well. The Valaisans are very friendly, they have their own mentality and I really love them.
Great review that included so many planes I’d never heard of or considered
Hi. Thank you very much! It was my pleasure to produce this video!
Spectacular views! Looking forward to going back to St. Moritz this December🎿❄☃
Hi. Thank you! Never skied at St. Moritz, but I would love to!😊
SKI GIRL HERE !!!! SO LOVE SKIING !!! THANK YOU KINDLY FOR THE VIDEO, JUST FABULOUS !!!!! GATSBY

Hey Calvin. Thank you very much! I hope you will have a great skiing holiday in Switzerland!
Super like. Feeling cold from India after seeing this video.
Thank you Agniman. Sometimes it's good to have some cool weather after hot and humid days. That's what I loved so much whenever I came home for Christmas Holidays when I lived in Singapore :)
Absolutely amazing footage & the narrative is perfect. You are Swissmaaaaaazing! 👻
Hi. Thank you very much!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video n for showing d lovely Swiss ski resorts. Amazing.
Hi Yasin. Thank you very much! Which one did you like the most?
@@DjemoGraphic All of them, hehehe. 😁
Interesting video, a change from Zermatt, Verbier, etc.
Hi Nemir. Thank you so much. I tried to include these but both of the resorts were not interested for any collaboration. The production costs would have been way too high to give them free promotion.
@@DjemoGraphic Well that just took away all the credibility from this list.
@@JakobAndersen thats up to your interpretation. I did not say that these are the 5 best resorts in the video, but some of the best resorts. I dont see any point spending thousands of CHF to promote a place that doesnt want to be promoted. Furthermore, I fell sick before I could film at 2 more ski resorts in Winter 2022 (Arosa and Jungfrau region), and I could not finish filming at the 10 ski resorts I wanted to show. Not sure, but sometimes its good to understand how much effort in terms of planning, sketching, work while filming, editing and also financial spending is behind a video like this. Many people probably think this is just super fun and super easy to hold the camera a little bit and smile at it.
Great ground and aerial images, but I would also add to the list Verbier, Zermatt, Grindelwald.
Thanks for this insider rundown.
Hey Marco. Mis grösste Vergnüege gsi das Video z'produziere! :)
ฉันมาเที่ยวแต่เป็นฤดูร้อนของที่นี่ เพราะฉันอยู่ภาคเหนือของอิตาลี่ แถวนี้สวยมากค่ะ ขอบคุณนะคะ
Sawasdee krub! Kopkun krub for your nice words. I am happy you have visited Switzerland during Summer. Please come here during Winter. You will love the snow and the wonderful atmosphere up in these villages.
Omg this is fantastic. Wish i would visit it once.
Hi Remi. Thank you! Please visit these ski resorts some day😊😊😊
Wao indah dan keren sekali thank you so much djemo
Terima kasih Elvin!
cheers mate very hard to decide where to go next
Hi Aaron. Go to Portes du Soleil. The cheapest and largest international ski resort.
Very nice
Thank you Anandha :)
You just got a subscriber bud.
Hey. Thanks a lot! Welcome to my channel😊🤗
Really good ranking but zermatt and 4 valles is not in and Flumserberg isnt for me that good
Thank you. I wanted to include Zermatt but I fell sick, neither did I manage to include Arosa back then. 4 Vallées was not interested in the project. The production costs would have been to high in that case > 1500-2000 CHF, not including the value of the work.
Hai Djemo🙂,How are you?? Again Nice to Meet You Djemo🙂
Hi Surya. Nice to meet you too. Im good. U?
Going good Djemo🙂
I’m going to zermatt in dec
Hi Max. Nice! I have never been skiing in Zermatt. I hope though one day I will!
Interesting list, but I don't agree with all the choices. Silveretta is really an Austrian resort. Portes du Soleil is more French. The omission of Andermatt, Zermatt, Verbier, Davos, and St. Moritz is a bit strange. A Personal List.
Hi Christopher. Thanks for your opinion. I could not include the other ski resorts because they did not want to support the production of this video and were not interested to be part of this list. A stay in each of these resorts would have cost a lot of money (arrival/return/hotel/food/ski pass). I agree with you though about the missing resorts. Maybe in the future, they might be willing to be part of it. Though places like Zermatt do not need any advertisment I guess.
For someone who doesn't have any experience, which SKI resort would you recommend? Are there rental equipments in all ski resorts?
Hi. I would suggest you to try out Flumserberg since it's very easy to start with and it's fast to reach. But if you want to combine it with a wonderful Winter village holiday, then maybe Saas-Fee suits you best.
@@DjemoGraphic thank you for the quick response. I am planning to visit on October 2024, i will browse your videos for more info on Switzerland. Have a good day!
@@rabazelbarredo4447 Thank you! For that, I recommend you my October/Novemver video and the Top 10 Autumn video😊 They will be very helpful
@@rabazelbarredo4447 We would have loved to have you here. But in October we are still hiking and mountain tobogganing rather than skiing. ;)
Is English spoken lots in Switzerland or am I going to have a hard time?
Hi. These days many people speak good English. In the ski resorts it is surely no problem
Hola ski people ✊
Prego, whereis the cheapest ski pass in Switzerland?
Portes du Soleil has the cheapest rate per kilometer. About 0.20 CHF / 1 km.
Danke 🤝
helloo great video. subbed! do i need to take my own glovesand jackets etc like the skiing equipment clothing like shoes? or can i rent theirs ? thanks mate in advannce
Hi Gabbar. Thank you! Welcome to my channel! I post new videos weekly on Fridays or Sundays. You need to bring your own ski pants and jacket. The rest can be rented. When you go to Saas-Fee you can rent pretty much everything at Cesar sport or at K2 Peer Sport if you go to Samnaun. There are of course other shops too.
@@DjemoGraphic You can also rent a jacket and pants. Just bring your own gloves - or of course you can buy a cheap pair here. ;)
@@flumserberge You probably have the best organized ski rental. Just next to the train station at Unterterzen. I found that genious and super convenient! I tried that back in 2013 :)
Was it legal to fly your drone like that? I know I wouldn't appreciate skiing under someone's drone.
Hi. Yes it was. The drone laws of Switzerland are very liberal. Drones are very safe to fly, one however must keep visual contact. For that I had also assistance. Furthermore, I have collaborated with each of the resorts shown here, permits were requested and granted wherever one was required.
Can u still go skiing in summer?
Hi Halimah. Very very limited only in Zermatt, Saas-Fee and Titlis. We used to have a lot of resorts that allowed Summer skiing, but because of the worsening global warming and the massive loss of glaciers over the last decades this isnt such a big thing as it used to be😓
@@DjemoGraphic thank u so much for the info but it’s so sad to hear that 😭💔
Hello Djemo, can you tell me the prices for some hotels in Zermatt, for one week skiing?
Hi Dušan. It depends on the season. Shud be between 150 and 300 CHF a night. You may get the prices on booking.com
Vielen Dank Djemo.
Fees ?
They change every year, sometimes even within the day itself. Thats why I didnt mention them. The most accurate info about the prices is on the resorts websites.
@@DjemoGraphic thanks mam appreciate your efforts
Djemo, Skiing is free at this place??
Hi Surya. It costs everywhere. It is quite a financial effort to the operators of the ski resort😊
Ohhh
@@DjemoGraphic There is no free place in Switzerland😭 ???
@@surya2540 Most attractions cost. Especially resorts that offer service and need maintainance.
@@DjemoGraphic Djemo can i ski in monte Rosa for free??
A very superficial vision! Too bad
Can you please outline?
Many resorts (Zermatt, Andermatt-Sedrun, Grindelwald, etc.) have unfortunately not been taken into account, even though the quality of their skiing is at least as good as that of the resorts presented. @@DjemoGraphic
@@Gg-cb9rm My plan was to make a Top 10 ski resorts video but unfortunately while being in Jungfrauregion I fell sick and I could not complete the bigger project. Thus, I worked with what I got. This project is being resumed coming Winter. Few ski resorts were not interested to be part of this video, which I had to respect.
Devi avere più autostima sembri bravo non scemo. ❤
Cosa ti fa pensare che non dovrei avere autostima? Sono felice con me stesso.
@@DjemoGraphic a inizio video fai che sei scemo vedi tu
@@dftr5812 Lol. Sorry for introducing myself to the audience 😄😄
