It is not difficulj to understand. Swizterland offers quality skiing, high class apres ski and beautiful scenery. With more British taking their skiing seriously and ready to pay that bit extra, Switzerland can hold its own. ——————————————————————————————————2/8—— Visas 206 Inoculations 207 SPOTLIGHT ON THE STARS! p350 Ferries Euro roads TV Plus Sport

Linked to several adjoining resorts like Nendaz and Thyon, it has a vast ski area with tough runs, both on and off piste. The two main skiing areas around Verbier are Savoleyres and Les Ruinettes which has a good choice of runs down to the village. ——————————————————————————————————3/8—— Breaks near home 292 WIN A MED HOLIDAY FOR TWO p292 Ferries Euro roads TV Plus Sport

The village also becomes unpleasantly busy. But Verbier does have a reputable Swiss ski school, and a good area for children's skiing. There is a good choice of chalets, plenty of pizzerias and restaurants, and pubs for skiers of all ages. ——————————————————————————————————4/8—— Crash Course 297 Drivewise 296 GATWICK FLIGHT ARRIVALS p208-209 Ferries Euro roads TV Plus Sport

Dominated by the astounding Matterhorn, this picturesque village is reached only by train. The skiing is good enough in three areas around the village with a decent lift system. But it is the smart restaurants, bars and shops which make Zermatt such an attractive choice. It is great all year round - if you can afford it. ——————————————————————————————————5/8—— Europe and US Ski reports 203 HAVE YOUR SAY IN OUR POLL p326 Ferries Euro roads TV Plus Sport

There are large off-piste areas but not much for beginners. The towns have plenty of restaurants but a rather quiet apres ski in general. ——————————————————————————————————6/8—— Tourist rates 298 World clock 299 GATWICK FLIGHT ARRIVALS p208-209 Ferries Euro roads TV Plus Sport
