Switzerland

With a multitude of peaks reaching upwards of 4,000 metres and lakes galore, Switzerland is well known as an active holiday paradise. Switzerland is where the concept of skiing for fun began and since then it has boomed, with hundreds of resorts and thousands of chalets, lodges and hotels; it offers something for everyone, from the most hardened of skiers to the absolute beginner.

Beyond skiing and rambling holidays, Switzerland offers a taste of four separate cultures, given that the Swiss culture is mixed with French, German and Italian. This can be seen no where better than in the ski resorts, where the après-ski chic of France, the edelweiss of Germany and the relaxation and spas of Italy all combine to make this an ideal ski and activity location.
