Located at the center of the Alps, Switzerland has some of the world’s most iconic mountains. It boasts Europe’s biggest glaciers and the most peaks measuring over 4,000 meters in elevation on the continent. For skiers, the country’s high peaks, poignant sceneries, and quintessentially traditional life make for ideal skiing experiences. Here are two of the best ski spots in Switzerland:

Ski Spots in SwitzerlandThe Matterhorn, Zermatt

A technically difficult peak to hike and ski down, the 4,478-meter Matterhorn is the Alps’ most famous peak. Mountaineers and skiers enjoy conquering the Matterhorn’s steep slopes. In addition, they can do this while enjoying the scenery that engulfs the town of Zermatt.

Arosa-LenzerheideThe Arosa and Lenzerheide resorts were linked in 2013 to offer advanced skiers more terrain to explore. Arosa resort features gentle, well-groomed slopes and a slick lift system accessible off-piste while Lenzerheide has steeper slopes and a superb mountain view. Skiers can move from one resort to another through easily accessible gondolas. Sledding is also quite popular at the two resorts.
