Flying into Zurich. Can y'all please provide suggestions on popular go-to ski resort areas close to Zurich? Thinking something along the lines of Breckenridge/Vail in relation to Denver. Thanks!!
Close to Zurich? I'll have to check for you. I used to live in Leysin which was great. But that is back along the edge of Lake Geneva. A decent train ride away. Zurich is in the flatter area of Switzerland, away from the Alps. Might be the closest thing to you. http://www.dietikon.ch/de/tourismus/sportanlagen/?action=showobject&object_id=5330 Although, if you have time I'd recommend heading South. Interlaken is great. And I'm sure there'll be some other great places along the Alps. http://www.interlaken.ch/en/discover-interlaken.html ^^^^ one of the more famous areas of Switzerland. For a place like no other, Zarmatt. Place I happened to receive my first whoopie.
Awesome, thanks! This is very helpful. We are open to travelling 3-4 hours to get to a resort destination - I have also heard Verbier and Chamonix are good options. Thoughts on those?
Chamonix is really good if you're looking for a farther trip across the border. I don't have any experience with Verbier, but I've heard the same.
...I want to go to Switzerland! This is actually on my bucket list, so I guess I'll start focusing on my future trip! Thanks Uprising! Interlaken sounds like a plan to me! ....... ....... .......
Just google mapped it, Interlaken is 1.5 hours and Verbier/Chamonix are ~3.5hrs. Interlaken might be the winner. Thanks again Uprising! p.s. still considering Zarmatt in honor of your first whoopie
LOL! Zarmatt is amazing because it's completely surrounded by Peaks, and just a surreal experience. Interlaken is amazing though, with the lakes. Either way, you really can't go wrong with anywhere in Switzerland.
