Gstaad<\/h3>\n

The glacier ski area in the Bernese Oberland extends over 10 peaks at an altitude of between 1000 and 3000 meters. It has 47 lifts, which can be reached by feeder lifts from several villages and is known for its early snow guarantee from as early as October<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2397″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]The ski area around Gstaad<\/strong><\/a> has something for everyone and is rightly one of the 5 best ski resorts in Switzerland. The so-called “Tiger Run”,<\/strong> which is one of the most legendary slopes in the region with an average gradient of 45\u00b0, a length of 2.5 km and a difference in altitude of 660 meters, is recommended for the particularly brave. <\/p>\n

Do you still need a suitable vehicle to reach Gstaad? With an SUV from Edel & Stark<\/strong><\/a> you can reach your destination comfortably and safely in all weather conditions. For glamorous Gstaad, we recommend a Range Rover Vogue<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n

Zermatt<\/h3>\n

The highest ski resort in Europe<\/strong> is located at an altitude of around 3883 meters between Zermatt and Breuil-Cervinia: The Matterhorn ski paradise<\/strong><\/a>. 360 kilometers of blue, red, black and yellow pistes promise unforgettable skiing pleasure. With a constant view of the Matterhorn<\/strong> and other 4000-metre peaks in the Alps, you can carve your turns here with an absolutely unique view.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2402″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Guaranteed snow all year round, modern lifts and cable cars, top culinary delights and legendary apr\u00e8s-ski evenings are guaranteed on ski vacations in Zermatt. Rent a Mercedes G 63 AMG<\/strong><\/a> and set off on your adventure to one of the best ski resorts in Switzerland. <\/p>\n

Crans Montana<\/h3>\n

With 78 days of sunshine per season Crans-Montana<\/strong><\/a> is one of the sunniest ski resorts in Switzerland<\/strong>. This ski area with above-average weather conditions is divided into 4 zones: Discovery, Relaxation, Adrenaline and 100% Winter Sports.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2389″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]While the discovery and relaxation zone is aimed at beginners and connoisseurs, the 100% winter sports zone is more suitable for advanced skiers. Freestylers get their money’s worth in the adrenaline zone and can really let off steam in one of the largest fun parks in the Swiss Alps. This covers an area of more than 100,000m2<\/sup>. <\/p>\n

In addition, the red slope no. 19<\/strong>, with a length of 10 kilometers, is one of the longest in Switzerland and promises long-lasting skiing pleasure without interruption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

St. Moritz<\/h3>\n

St. Moritz is located in the middle of 3 nearby ski areas – Corviglia<\/a><\/strong>, Corvatsch<\/a><\/strong> and Diavolezza<\/strong><\/a> – with a total of 350 kilometers of slopes, which offer something for everyone.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2385″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Corviglia<\/strong>, St. Moritz’s local mountain, is particularly interesting for freeriders, who can make their tracks in the powder snow undisturbed early in the morning. But of course, piste skiers don’t miss out either. The Corviglia ski area offers them over 100 kilometers of slopes to carve down. <\/p>\n

Corvatsch<\/strong>, derived from the Romansh word for “big raven”, is the name of the second ski area in the immediate vicinity of St. Moritz and offers a spectacular view<\/strong>: on one side, the mighty Bernina massif towers up and on the other, you can see hundreds of Alpine peaks and the famous Engadin lake landscape.<\/p>\n

The Diavolezza<\/strong> ski area is located on a glacier and is therefore open from mid-October to the end of May. It is home to the longest secured glacier descent in Switzerland<\/strong>. It takes around 45 minutes. <\/p>\n

Arosa<\/h3>\n

The snow-sure Arosa Lenzerheide ski area<\/strong><\/a> offers 225 kilometers of groomed slopes with a view of an impressive mountain panorama consisting of over 1000 peaks. Here, too, every winter sports enthusiast gets their money’s worth thanks to the wide range on offer.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2391″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]For very special skiing experiences, there are offers such as SnowNight<\/strong> (night skiing), full moon descents<\/strong> or EarlyBird<\/strong>. The latter increases the probability of finding untouched powder snow many times over and is therefore particularly interesting for freeriders. <\/p>\n
