Stride Post | Why do we tend to travel very far when there, are so many beautiful places to visit in Europe? That is what most travelers feel when they book a trip to Switzerland. And they would be absolutely right! This small alpine country has more abundant resources to offer than “just” watches, chocolate, and cheese. Switzerland has developed into a really versatile place where, buzzing multicultural, modern cities and quiet, rural farm life are found side by side.
Upon Landing
Upon landing at Zurich Airport most tourists are pleasantly surprised. This airport has no resemblance to the way a small country’s airport should look. It is spread out wide, is light, busy, and very contemporary. Downstairs you’ll see a big train station with frequent departures into different parts of the country. If tourists arrange their all inclusive trip to Switzerland in advance, it’s easy to book the flight and the train ride both a once. And have the baggage sent to the final destination automatically. Travelers venturing on ski holidays usually make use of this service. As they tend to travel with a large amount of luggage and bulky luggage.
Alps and Ski Holidays
Switzerland is recognized for its posh and stylish city Zurich in the north. Coupled with a pretty tourist capital Lucerne, overlooked by high mountains. No to mention, Geneva and Geneva’s beautiful lake “Lac Leman” in the south-western part (the French part) of the country. All are beautiful cities that are well worth a visit. Nevertheless, it is no secret, Switzerland is well known for the Alps and is synonymous with ski holidays.
Skiing in Switzerland can be pretty expensive but it is certainly a must go to complement an all inclusive trip to Switzerland. The sights are truly mind-blowing, the snow powdery until late spring. Apart from the varied range of winter sports, all ski destinations, offer a wide variety of restaurants, spas, cinemas, shopping, and the famous “Après-ski” for all tastes. No wonder Switzerland is the preferred destination for ski holidays.
Spring is also a suitable time, to check out various types of skiing, like cross country skiing or heli-skiing. Heli-skiing is where you set out on a helicopter to a remote mountain location. They leave you off to ski down a mountain having no lifts. This is recommended for experienced skiers alone.
The Sum Up
For beginners, spring is the right season to learn skiing or snowboarding. Any good resort will offer lessons for beginning and intermediate skiers. Since spring is not a peak time, you can have a good time at the slopes that are less crowded. Simply put, the pressure will be off beginners to show off their skills.
