A sea of 3,000 and 4,000 metre peaks offers over 330 ski areas with countless possibilities for piste lovers and freeriders. Distinctive mountains such as the Matterhorn or unique natural phenomena such as the Aletsch Glacier are world-famous. In Canton Valais, there are well-known ski areas such as Zermatt, Saas-Fee, the 4 Vall\u00e9es or parts of the Portes du Soleil, but Graub\u00fcnden also has many prominent destinations with Davos Klosters, St. Moritz, Arosa-Lenzerheide, Corvatsch and Laax. Thanks to their geographical location, many of the ski resorts are located at altitudes above 3,000 m, with snow ensured.

The tow lift on the Theodul glacier rises to the highest mountain station in Europe that can be reached by skis. The ski slopes extend from the car-free ski resort of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/switzerland\/zermatt\/ski-holidays.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zermatt<\/a> across the Italian border to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/italy\/cervinia\/ski-area.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Breuil-Cervinia<\/a> and Valtournenche.

Winter sports fans can discover 100 kilometres of pistes plus ski routes here. Thanks to a good mixture of blue practice slopes and tricky black pistes, experienced skiers as well as (returning) beginners will find the right slope. With pistes up to 3,573 m at the Allalin glacier, the ski area is also an attractive destination in the summer. Another recreational factor: just like Zermatt, the village of Saas-Fee is car-free.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-46868 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"T-bar lift in the Saas-Fee ski area.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"T-bar lift in the Saas-Fee ski area.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr-468x312.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr-999x666.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/03\/RS26552_shutterstock_1656690193-scr-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"46868\">\u00a9 AsiaTravel\/Shutterstock<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">T-bar lift in the Saas-Fee ski area.<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<h2 id=\"3-4-vall\u00e9es:-3330-metres\">3. 4 Vall\u00e9es: 3,330 metres<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/switzerland\/4_vallees\/ski_deals.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">4 Vall\u00e9es<\/a> (four valleys) around Mont Fort (3,330 m) form the third-highest ski area in Switzerland. With 412 kilometres of pistes, it is also the largest ski area in Switzerland. The extensive, tree-free powder snow slopes make the ski area a hotspot for freeriders. Only a black piste leads from the summit of Mont Fort at 3,330 m to the gondola lift. There are five places to start your skiing adventure, including the prominent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/switzerland\/nendaz\/ski-holidays.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nendaz<\/a> and Verbier ski resorts.

The highest piste point is at 3,303 m on Corvatsch, where a unique view of the Bernina massif opens up with the Piz Bernina. A 9 km long valley descent leads to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/switzerland\/st._moritz\/ski-holidays.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">St. Moritz<\/a>.

While the lower part of the Kreuzboden is flat for beginners, there are only deep red pistes at the Triftgletscher from the highest point at 3,142 m at the Hochsaas mountain station. Hochsaas is in good company with its location in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/switzerland\/saastal\/ski_deals.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Saas Valley<\/a>: the view of the surrounding 4,000 m peaks is breathtaking.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"6-belalp-blatten:-3118-metres\">6.

Around 60 km of pistes meander down the flanks of Hockstock, Sparrhorngrat and Sch\u00f6nbiel. The highest lift station in the ski area is on the Hochstock at 3,118 m, where fantastic freeride routes open up. The panoramic view of the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/switzerland\/fieschertal\/ski-holidays.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aletsch Glacier<\/a> is another highlight of this skiing gem.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"7-lauchernalp-l\u00f6tschental:-3111-metres\">7. Lauchernalp-L\u00f6tschental: 3,111 metres<\/h2>\n<p>In the &#8220;magical&#8221; L\u00f6tschental in Upper Valais, you will find the entrance to the Lauchernalp ski area, a medium-sized area with 55 km of pistes offering plenty of free terrain for freeriding. Below the summit of the Hockenhorn lies the Hockenhorngrat mountain station at 3,111 m, from where a blue and a black panoramic descent and even a hiking trail start.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"8-st-moritz-corviglia:-3057-metres\">8.
