Switzerland is one of our favourite places to ski, with Zermatt and Verbier being two of the most luxurious resorts in the world. Verbier has its glamorous clientele, beautiful shops, fantastic restaurants and a challenging ski area, this resort truly oozes class. Whilst Zermatt is famous for the Matterhorn mountain, part of the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise ski area, it is an exclusive and impeccable resort. With excellent on piste restaurants, luxurious chalets and hotels and a glacier for summer skiing, it is a firm favourite for many and a place you will wish you could go back to time and time again. This resort is just as popular in the summer as the winter and our chalets and hotels offer year-round availability.
