And then there's the food. Whether you want to munch on Michelin-star sushi, feast on a fireside meal of modern French fare, or down mounds of melty raclette while the kids run around, there's a spot in Switzerland where you can make it happen.
Ahead, you'll find 12 places to consider when planning your next Swiss ski trip.
