- Winter blues? We have some great ingredients for a perfect winter vacation, but we’re betting you have a few more in mind.
indoors and waiting for spring. Oh, and shoveling the snow of course, which as most of us can attest to, doesn’t exactly spell F-U-N. Now, before hitting the slopes, there are several things to consider such as where to go, what to do, how to be safe, and so on. For travelers – seasoned or otherwise, check out our recommendations below.
Zurich. With its proximity to the tourist resorts in the Swiss Alps, Zurich is also called the “portal to the alps.” For an up close look at the white peaks of the Alps, we suggest a guided tour of Zurich and Surroundings or a tour of Titlis from Zurich. Note that transfers from the Geneva Cointrin International Airport (GVA) and Zurich Airport (ZRH) reach most of the major ski stations in Valais, Vaud, Bernese Oberland, Central Switzerland, Graubünden, and Eastern Switzerland.
Gstaad. This world-renowned site for ballooning also boasts of one of the largest ski areas in the Alps. Gstaad has high-end shops, restaurants and luxury accommodations that meet all the requirements of a perfect winter vacation.
Munich. The capital city of Bavaria offers more than shopping thrills and the “Sound of Music” delights. Check out the Salzburg and Lake District tour to experience the best that the lower Bavarian Alps have to offer. Transfers by car are available for vacationers in the ski towns of Berchtesgaden, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Lenggries Mittenwald, Oberammergau, and Oberstdorf from the Munich International Airport.
Milan. Experience a landscape of glaciers and stone fields, wild gorges, soaring bridges, fascinating loop tunnels and white glaciers with the Bernina Train Tour. In Italy, transfers from the Malpensa Airport can take travelers directly to Aosta, Champoluc, La Thuile, Chur, Lugano, Pinerolo, Sestriere and other ski resorts. Ski transfers are also available from the Orio Al Serio Airport, and the Linate Airport.
