Zermatt Ski Resort
One of the most breathtaking lift-served ski and snowboard resorts in all of Switzerland. Spend a couple days here at least. I was tempted to stay for the season! Day passes are around 100 bucks USD – about half what they can run you in the States 💸

Observatorium Gornergrat
A quintessential Alps lunch experience with absolutely incredible views of the entire region along the Swiss/Italian border.

Rifugio Guide del Cervino
Great little spot to rest and refuel between runs. Their menu offers a range of belly-warming options from lasagna to hot chocolate.
See More
Hinterdorfstrasse
Take a walk through this ancient neighborhood and experience the rich history of the region. The homes in this village were built between the 16th and 18th centuries. They definitely don't make 'em like this anymore!

Harry's Ski Bar
The heart of après in town. You can't miss it.

Stop 2

Andermatt-Sedrun-Disentis
One pass covers a lot of ground! You could spend a whole season exploring the region. Terrain for all abilities and some big, high alpine descents to be had as well.

Piz Calmot
Great affordable stay within walking distance of the lifts.

Ochsen
Maybe some can visit Switzerland without sitting down to a huge fondue meal. That someone is not me 🧀😋

Ski Lodge Engelberg
Stay here, eat here, be here. Great skiers and snowboarders from all over the world come to stay and play at this skier-owned establishment. One of the coolest spots I've experienced. Could spend a whole season here.

Stop 4

St. Moritz - Corviglia
Welcome to one of the most luxurious alpine resorts in the world, where vibes of elegance and luxury abound. Great if you're into that sort of thing, but we came to experience the mountains and this place delivers world class skiing and snowboarding. If you do have some budget left after all the hostel stays, you just might be tempted to blow the rest with a stay at Badrutt's Palace and a 5 star culinary experience at Dal Mulin!

Badrutt's Palace Hotel St. Moritz
Maybe throw the budget out the window to experience the decadence? 🤑

Jugendherberge St. Moritz
A more modern take on today's hostels. Great spot with all the amenities you could need and central location. You'll also likely meet some new friends who can show you around the mountain!
