Dreamlike snow conditions
The snow conditions in Valais are also ideal for skiing. With so many superlatives, you might think a ski holiday in Valais is unaffordable. Swiss ski resorts are considered very expensive. However, thanks to the favourable exchange rate of the euro, prices are relatively low.
Sport and wellness
Alongside traditional winter sports such as cross-country skiing, snowboarding and skiing, Valais also offers trendy sporting activities. “Whoopy Jump” is all the rage right now. Snowboarders and skiers try to take off using dragon-like wings. Nighttime sled rides with huskies and torches are also very much in vogue. And after all that sporting exertion, you can relax and unwind at a soothing thermal spa. For example, at the spa resort of Leukerbad, Burgerbad, Saillon-les-Bains, Brigerbad or Val d’Illiez.
Après-ski: cosy mountain huts and elegant restaurants
You won’t go hungry after a day on the slopes, either. There’s a wide range of culinary delights, from cosy mountain huts and elegant restaurants serving gourmet cuisine to dishes cooked over a wood fire. Enjoy local specialities with spectacular panoramic views. That’s how to make the most of a ski holiday.
