Are you searching for high-altitude and diverse skiing suitable for all levels? Then a school ski trip to Switzerland will be hard to beat. Set against the impressive backdrop of the Eiger and Jungfrau mountains are the world-famous resorts of Wengen, Grindelwald and Mürren. This resort is a favourite on the World Cup circuit – the Lauberhorn Race is held in Wengen every year and is the longest and fastest of its kind. And the towns are lovely – charming Wengen was one of the first Swiss resorts to welcome British skiers, and cosmopolitan Grindelwald offers some really exciting après-ski options, including the longest toboggan run in the Alps! Many of our hotels are in Interlaken, which is the perfect base for exploring the entire area.
