Ski Switzerland

skiing in the Shadow of the Matterhorn

 

Switzerland Costs Less

Now that airfares are so competitive, the Alps , cost less than a ski trip to Colorado for example, and the skiing is just so much better. We can offer skiing in Arolla as low as $125* a night including room with bath, breakfast and dinner, and lift ticket included (Double occupancy). Check with us for costs in other areas.

*Price subject to group size, dates, and destination. Let us give you a proposal.

Air fares to Switzerland were under $700 RT last summer. We are negotiating now for next winter but expect similar prices. That means a total package of about $1500 for 7 days including hotel, meals, lift ticket, and RT air fare from the USA . That is hard to beat and, of course, Switzerland is unbeatable.

We offer skiing packages to some of the most exciting and beautiful in the Alps for 2010

Spectacular Ski Destinations

Here are some of the Alpine destinations at prices that will astound you. Let us send you details of the destination you want for skiing in 2010. Here is a list of the superb ski areas we offer. Ask us for a proposal.

  • Wengen
  • Zermatt
  • Verbier
  • Arolla

Each of the destinations is wonderful but I must admit one of my favorites is Verbier. It offers tremendous diversity and wonderful snow.

Now what reasons are there for choosing the Alps compared to the Rockies ?

  1. The mountain trails are longer-up to 8 miles.
  2. The vertical drop is greater- over 7000 feet
  3. The first class hotels, meals, and service are superior. The Swiss are the greatest hoteliers.
  4. The adventure of being in a foreign country is unique. It cannot be equaled.
  5. The snow is very dependable, with some areas offering 12 months of skiing
  6. Skiing downhill was invented in the Alps . So they understand skiers
  7. The price for your trip, all-inclusive, should be less than in the US .
  8. Almost no lift lines. The most modern lift and cog railway facilities.
  9. Zermatt , Verbier, and Wengen are car free. Arolla is a small mountain village at the end of a mountain road so there are minimal cars.

Send us the dates when you want to go, the size of your group, and where you want to ski and we will send you a proposal that I'm sure will interest you.

Let's go skiing!

Sincerely
Bill
