Snowboarding on Flumserberg 🏂
For all you snowboarding and skiing aficionados, Switzerland’s gorgeous Swiss Alps are a MUST-GO! Imagine snowboarding down a slope surrounded by snow capped mountains for miles and a ski village like no other. 🎿🏔
Although Switzerland can be pricey, their snowboarding was generally affordable and on par with resorts like Niseko. They also have top equipment for rent and renting was seamless with no reservation needed. 👌🏼
Made a completely impromptu decision to go snowboarding in Flumserberg and 100% did not regret 🥰 Remember to get some nice hot Rosti after a day on the slopes

The panoramic views from the top were absolutely worth the effort! With fresh mountain air and jaw-dropping scenery at every turn, Flumserberg provides an unforgettable escape for nature lovers. Definitely a must-visit for anyone seeking to explore Switzerland’s rugged beauty up close.

This is a very well located ski resort, only 45 min away from Zurich, extremely worth to visit. We had only one issue: the tickets had been bought via net, and we spent cca.30 min in a cash desk until we finally get physical ones, which in the end didn’t function by the first gondola.
Not all the slopes were open, but still good skiing experience. Nice views and good restaurants, some of the chair lifts need upgrade for sure - they were super cold and icy and I believe that there is only one with the "bubble". Finding parking was a little difficult, but they say normally is better. We had lunch at Panoramic Restaurante (buffet).
