Top Snowboarding Spots in Switzerland

If you want to skip gear rental lines, bring your own equipment. Rentals can take a while, especially during peak season, and having your own saves time!

Buy your lift tickets online before your visit to avoid long lines at the counters; it saved me so much time!

Check out the glacier park; it's fun and suitable for all skill levels. I ended up spending way more time there than I expected—so worth it.

Bring your own snacks to save some cash—food up on the mountain can be pricey, and I wish I had packed a lunch instead of splurging on cafe food.

Dress in layers! The weather can change quickly, and I was cold when I arrived in the morning but ended up sweating after some intense snowboarding in the afternoon.

If you’re coming for skiing or snowboarding aim for weekdays rather than weekends. The slopes are way less crowded and you’ll have more space to enjoy!

I suggest buying your lift tickets online a day before. It saves you a few bucks and time waiting in line, plus you can plan your day better!

If you're renting equipment go to one of the shops just off the main slopes instead of the resort ones. They tend to be cheaper and the staff was super helpful unlike my first experience at the resort rental shop!

I recommend checking the weather forecast closely before visiting. I had a blast, but two of my friends didn't see anything due to fog, so plan accordingly!

I suggest getting the early gondola at 8:00 AM. The views are breathtaking and you’ll avoid the crowds before they flock in around noon.

If you're planning to snowboard or ski, rent your gear in Zermatt instead of up on the mountain. It’ll save you some cash and keep you from lugging it around.

Try to hit the slopes early, like around 8 AM, especially on weekends... You'll avoid the crowds, and it makes for a much better skiing experience – trust me!

I recommend buying your ski pass online before your trip; it saves you time and often gives you access to discounts. I managed to save a bit that way!

My advice is to pack your own lunch and snacks... The mountain eateries can get pricey, and there are some fantastic picnic spots with a view!

I think you should try to ski early in the morning around 8 AM to avoid the crowds. The slopes were so much nicer and quieter during that time.

If you're new to skiing or snowboarding, definitely take a lesson. It might feel like an extra cost, but it makes a huge difference and you’ll have more fun

My advice is to pack a light lunch. The food at the mountain huts is decent but super pricy. Grab some sandwiches from the village to save some cash!

Be sure to try out the Sumpf Lodge for some après-ski vibes. The atmosphere was great, but it gets packed after 4 PM, so either go early or be ready to wait!

I think checking the weather forecast is key. On my visit, it was sunny all day, which made it perfect. But it changes quickly up there.
