Even if you want to ski on a glacier, in a snow park, off-piste as a freerider or at night, you will find it in Switzerland.

**Which ski resorts are suitable for families?

For families, ski resorts often offer specially designed infrastructure. Often these include the following offers:

• children's lifts
• ski schools
• gently sloping pistes or specially signposted family pistes
• Kidsparks and playgrounds
• offers for child care
• family friendly restaurants

Particularly family-friendly ski resorts include Savognin, Grindelwald, Hasliberg, Leukerbad, Andermatt and Les Diablerets.

When does the ski season start in Switzerland?

The start of the season for ski resorts in Switzerland depends on snow conditions and altitude. Therefore, there is not the start of the season and the end of the season. As a rule, ski resorts open their slopes in early December and maintain operations until the end of April.

Above about 2000 m.a.s.l., a ski area is considered to have guaranteed snow. Ski resorts in Switzerland with particularly reliable snow conditions include:

• Saas-Fee
• Zermatt
• Laax
• Engelberg - Titlis
• St. Moritz - Corviglia
• Samnaun
• Grächen

Where can you ski in summer or in extended season?

At higher elevations, such as Saas Fee, it's quite possible that you can ski on the glacier as early as November and as late as Easter. The same goes for Zermatt, where you can even enjoy the slopes during summer skiing.
