Winter: Winter season traditionally starts with the Christmas markets. There’s no better way to get in the festive mood than go to Basel or Montreux. But don’t forget that Switzerland is an Eldorado for winter sports lovers. As the country is quite small, you can get to many resorts for skiing or snowboarding pretty quickly from anywhere. Winter sports can be quite expensive, especially in big resorts, but the price is worth it. Check in the SBB website for the Snow’n’Rail to get convenient deals! There is not only the possibility to go skiing, but also to go on snowshoe hikes or eat fondue with friends in the Alps, enjoying the spectacular mountain scenery and its surroundings. So don’t forget to bring your winter clothes to keep you warm!
