Even if you are a skier or a non-skier, Switzerland is simply a perfect choice to spend the winter and we will show you why. Read on to find out what will bring you to Switzerland in the winter.
What is true for all touristy cities in Europe is also true for Switzerland. Winter is the time when Switzerland's towns and villages finally breathe! In Switzerland, winters are much less frequented by tourists. Winter in Switzerland starts in November and ends in February. At the beginning of November, with the drop in temperatures, the Christmas atmosphere intensifies. At the end of November, Christmas markets are set up and it is true that Switzerland has one of the best Christmas markets in Europe! Moreover, while the winter crowds are mostly made up of skiers, the main towns and villages are almost empty and the beauty of the empty streets is simply marvellous.
Switzerland is by far the best choice for adrenaline junkies and winter sports enthusiasts. We cannot express enough that Switzerland is a skier's paradise! Besides, if you are not a skier, you can enjoy many other sports such as paragliding, snowboarding and the most fun is tobogganing. This is a wooden, plastic or aluminium sledge that slides down a mountain of snow. There are also "snow hikes", which take you to snowy lands and glaciers, these are fully guided and supervised by professionals. You can also take a "fat bike", a bike made to suit the snow, and have a great time biking through the snow. Another quite exciting sport to try during the winters is "snowshoeing", which is made for hiking and walking in the snow with custom-made shoes, which makes it easier to walk in the snow. So even if you don't like super extreme sports, you can choose a lighter and easier sport like this.
We all know how famous Swiss chocolate and Swiss cheese are all over the world! During your stay in Switzerland, you can't miss trying a cup of hot chocolate and the delicious fondue to keep you warm under the Swiss snow! Fondue, which is also the official Swiss national dish, is the perfect winter dish and a cup of Swiss hot chocolate simply cannot fail to be enjoyed in any weather. But if you are in Switzerland during the winter, sipping a cup of hot chocolate made from authentic Swiss chocolate while looking out over the snow-covered Swiss Alps has another meaning that makes it even more special!
Switzerland is the country of thermal baths and hot springs. Here you will find the best thermal spas, as well as natural open-air hot springs to take a relaxing bath in the mineral-rich thermal waters, looking out over the Alps under the wintry sky. You will be amazed by the beauty of the thermal springs in Switzerland and, moreover, by taking advantage of the fewer tourists in winter, you can even experience, all by yourself, the thermal baths while enjoying moments of tranquillity to soothe and unwind. In Villanovo, we have our excellent chalets in Switzerland which have hot tubs, heated swimming pools and hammams for your utmost relaxation and comfort. Our chalets are also located close to the ski slopes and offer a spectacular view of the Swiss Alps.
