How the ranking is calculated👇🏻
We ranked the 8 best ski resorts in Switzerland using thousands of real skier and snowboarder ratings on Snomad.
This list is based on the Overall rating category, which takes lots of different parts of the ski experience into account, from the quality of the slopes and groomed runs, to lift efficiency, how busy the pistes feel, eating out, après, scenery and more.
So this is not just about the biggest ski areas or the most famous names. It’s based on how skiers and snowboarders actually rate the full resort experience.
And yes, this heat has got us thinking about one thing… skiing. 🥵⛷️
