Four Major Swiss Ski Resorts, Take You Skiing Across the Alps.

The whole country is skiing! 🛹 In Switzerland, skiing is an ancient and traditional national sport. The natural advantages of the Alps make skiing in Switzerland a top-notch experience. From the high peaks of the Alps, you can speed down with the wind whistling through the forests. "Nothing is more beautiful than sunshine, mountains, and snow." 🏔 Introducing you to these four distinctive Swiss ski resorts, let's go skiing! 1. Fairy Tale Town: Grindelwald🌄 As a classic icon of Swiss tourism, the Jungfrau has always attracted tourists from all over the world with its snowy visage and beautiful stories. Grindelwald is the gateway to the Jungfrau. 🚋 Grindelwald is built with snowy peaks at the top and lush green grass at the bottom. The Jungfrau is often veiled in the distance, making it look like a town straight out of a fairy tale. 🏕 The Grindelwald ski area has dozens of cable cars and hundreds of ski runs. The Bodmi Arena ski area has many beginner slopes that are relatively gentle and quite long, suitable for beginners to fully stretch their muscles. You can freely shuttle through the forest. 2. The Most Beautiful Powder Snow: Andermatt🛫 Andermatt is located in the central part of the Alps and is the largest and most modern ski resort in central Switzerland. 🛴 The endless snow slopes here are vast, with deep snow and wide trails. The complete chain of cogwheel trains, ski towns, diverse ski runs, and cable railways makes it an ideal paradise for advanced skiing challenges. 🛹 You can also see the most beautiful powder snow in the Alps. 🌟 3. Glacier City: Zermatt🎐 Zermatt is located among the peaks of the Alps, surrounded by 38 peaks over 4000 meters high, including the famous Matterhorn, earning it the nickname "Glacier City." 😊 This is the highest year-round ski resort in the Alps, with a vertical drop of over 2133 meters and a "snow season" that lasts 365 days a year. With over 100 ski runs and 54 cable cars, it also has the longest downhill ski run in Europe, 25 kilometers, which can take you from the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise straight down to Zermatt. 🎿 The best way to get here is by the Glacier Express. On the train, you can traverse the high mountains and deep valleys of the Alps, enjoying breathtaking scenery along the way. 🚊 4. Glamorous and Wealthy: St. Moritz💎 St. Moritz has always been known for its high-end elegance and is one of the world's most famous and oldest ski resorts. 🚏 It hosted the Winter Olympics twice, in 1928 and 1948. The skiing facilities here are top-notch, with 350 kilometers of extremely smooth ski runs and 59 alpine skiing facilities. 🏎 Its long history and cultural heritage also make St. Moritz the top choice for many wealthy individuals, politicians, and royalty for their annual vacations. 🎆 The unparalleled natural conditions, the early industrial revolution advantages in Europe, and the developed tourism industry make Switzerland one of the world's most worthwhile travel destinations. 🎇 In simple terms, Switzerland is the "Hermès" of ski destinations. Although not cheap, experiencing it once in a lifetime is worth it. 🎈

Don't rush! The Swiss snow season is super long! Recommended ski resorts for beginners

The enthusiasm for skiing from the Winter Olympics continues unabated, and the skiing season in Switzerland is very long, lasting from November to March or even April. It's really worth experiencing when traveling. ▫️ Switzerland is forever the moonlight in my heart. As a skiing beginner + tourist, the Bodmi ski resort in Grindelwald is definitely a good choice, suitable for everyone from beginners to pros. The scenery of the whole town is unbeatable, with beautiful snow-capped mountains and chalets, and a well-developed tourism industry (many places are too desolate to even find a convenience store). ▫️ Start by taking a small train from Interlaken to Grindelwald, which takes about half an hour. Then take bus 124 up the mountain to Das Bodmi station. The scenery along the way is super super beautiful, giving a truly peaceful feeling. Most of the people on the bus are carrying ski gear, and the scene is quite spectacular. It seems that locals start off from home already wearing ski boots, and if you're afraid of getting lost, just following everyone else is fine~ ▫️ There is no admission fee for the ski resort, and ski equipment can be rented. It is recommended to rent before taking the bus at the foot of the mountain, as it is more expensive on the mountain. You can also hire an instructor. At that time, we booked a ski package online, which included local instructor teaching by the hour~

#tripaway a few hundreds thousands square kilometres of granite peaks, deep lakes, and snow: It’s not easy to cross the Alps.Yet humans just keep on doing it.you can go by bicycle .We picked this pass since it has less car and motorcycle traffic then the other well known transit passes in Switzerland. The beginning from Altdorf up to Schächen is a normal road.A must visit #tripaway

Beautiful alpine village nestled in the mountains with an amazing view of the Jungfrau valley and Lauterbrunnen down below. Taking the train up to Wengen will guarantee you a lovely view of Lauterbrunnen. The village has shops, attractions and amenities within walking distance. Though, if you do decide to get a resort/hotel further up, be sure to ask for shuttle cars, the upwards slopes are no joke. Our hotel had a lovely view of the cable car rides up to Männlichen, the street below and at night- if you’re willing to stand in the 14 degrees cold (even in summer) you can get a good picture of the night sky! Of course, we couldn’t stay in Wengen without visiting Männlichen and her famous Royal Walk- a short hike of 1.7km, with elevations up to 80-120m up/down, grants you a truly breathtaking panoramic view. ((the gravel paths can be a bit slippery so be careful on the way down)) The trail from Männlichen to Kleine Scheidegg was an overall downhill walk with a view of Grindelwald down below and the snow capped mountains. But before you embark on this trail be sure to either get something to eat or drink (and the WC of course) at Männlichen as it is quite a long walk (about 4.7km). Near the midpoint you can see Eiger! A truly memorable walk with amazing scenery of the town below and mountains all around us. Truly a scenic paradise with plenty of activities to do, whether you prefer to simply enjoy the views or try out some of their more thrilling activities. It was my first time visiting Switzerland but certainly won’t be the last!#switzerland #summervacation #nature #alps

Jungfrau | Top of Europe !!!! 🇨🇭

How to get there: There are 2 ways to go up Jungfrau: 1) By the Cable Car (Eiger Express) or 2) By train. We went up by the eiger express (from Grindelswald, interchanging at Terminal), and we came down by train. Before we went up, we contemplated of joining a tour but given we have done a fair share of research, I ended up going by ourselves. There are several viewing sites, which ofc include Jungfrau itself, ice palace, exhibition of history of the site construction of Jungfrau, and Lindlt chocolate museum. It was negative 18 degree celsius on Jungfrau!!! So for those who cannot handle the cold, don’t visit during the winter 😂😂😂 Despite the weather condition was not ideal (no blue sky😣) but i guess it is as expected because we went during the winter ❄️) Pro tip: I would recommend purchasing the swiss pass as you get discount for the jungfrau ticket and free transport within Switzerland!! #jungfrau #jungfraujoch #urbanexplorer #境外遊 #mytripvlog

Grindelwald: A crime if you miss it!

Get here by train! We came via Basel and just enjoyed the scenic views from the huge train windows. Lake, villages, mountains, you won’t want to close your eyes! Coming here in early autumn, we escaped the crowds and could explore First, Eiger, and Jungfraujoch with ease and little wait time. The mountains are magnificent all thru the year! The colours of the landscape will change and hiking to the Balchapsee is an experience in itself. Discovering WCs in the middle of nowhere, up in the mountains, complete with toilet tissue is something only the Swiss can guarantee! There are many hotels in this little village and all are within walking distance of the train station. We stayed at the Eiger Aparthotel as we wanted to prepare our own meals to save cost. Bookings come with daily afternoon tea and the variety of cakes, teas and coffees were an absolute treat! There are many cafes around for fondue and all sorts of local delights. We opted to explore the two supermarkets for raw ingredients and cooked up our own dinners at a fraction of the cost of eating out. Do check out the different yogurt flavours, types of cheese, and cured meats too! As it is a tourist destination, you can get souvenirs and major brands here. There is a post office (to send postcards) and some banks if you need forex. My #2023travelwish is to drop by this beautiful place again in the SUMMER and take in the wonders of creation ❤️ #2023travelwish #swiss #grindelwald #discoveralps #budgettravel
