Number one destination for nature lovers and skiing addicts

Welcome to the holiday destination that can still offer its guests authentic experiences, from the sight of a spectacular mountain panorama and the fragrance of an Alpine meadow to a refreshing dip in a natural pool. And the people of Switzerland are no less authentic than the landscape. Helping to drive the cattle up to the mountain pastures, watching a bout or two of traditional Swiss wrestling or a visit to an Alpine dairy are just a few of the innumerable authentic and unforgettable experiences you can have.  

Of course skiing and snowboarding are the number one activities in winter. Switzerland is famous for its prestigious and numerous ski resorts, often visited by movie stars and other worldwide celebrities.

In summer hiking takes over. Nordic walking, which is fast walking using two special poles, has also become very popular in Switzerland. From a distance Nordic walking looks like cross-country skiing without any snow. 

Sports are poorly represented in the schools. There is hardly more than two hours of sports per week on the schedule. However many sports are offered on a local level, through village clubs or town sport centers.
