Skiing the Alps - Zurich or Bern?

Question

Headed to Switzerland will be flying into Zurich, eventually going to Bern and into Italy. Would like to ski the Swiss Alps and would like to know closest ski area to these cities and the most convenient way to get there. Any information will be helpful. Thanks!

Answer 1

I think around Bern you find more and better skiing possibilities. Adelboden is a great place to ski.

Answer 2

If you have a stop in Bern, I think that the nearest place for skiing is the famous village of Gstaad. Have a look at the website in the source.

To get from Bern to Gstaad it's about 87.5 km.

Have a nice journey.

Answer 3

Hi, in the canton of Bern I can definitely recommend Adelboden, beautiful beautiful slopes. Check out www.myswitzerland.com and click on the winter section and then "winter resorts" to find out about other places too.

Answer 4

hello there you are talking to a chick that lived in switzerland if its' ur first time in zurich you'll like it but going skiing in switzerland there are alot of places one place that i go is in constance, and weinfelden as well as lugano but lugano might be far from where you are staying in zurih, b/c lugano is south of switzerland where i lived and that is the border of italy. have fun

Answer 5

If you travel by train from Milano to Zurich, you will pass the part of Switzerland called "Wallis" there are plenty of skiresorts around, like zermatt, saas fee. If you travel by train you will stop on a place called Brig, from there you have connection to both of the places...

And for train-connections you can have a look on: www.sbb.ch, this page you also can put on english, so it is easyer for you.

Answer 6

Don't stay in a city if your plan is to ski.

Andermatt is about 4 hours by train from Milan and then only two to Zurich. I haven't actually skied there, but have been in the summer and heard good things about the skiing.
