Zermatt, Switzerland 🇨🇭

Zermatt is a unique ski resort as the entire village is car-free. The town's air quality and beautiful environment are protected by a ban on all vehicles except for electric taxis and horse-drawn carriages. The majority of tourists arrive by train and the village was planned with pedestrians in mind. Zermatt's unique mode of transportation is part of what makes the resort so special.   

 

 In addition, The Matterhorn, one of the world's most recognisable mountains, can be seen in all its glory from here.

Val Thorens, France 🇫🇷

Skiers can find Val Thorens, a French Alps resort at a high altitude that is a part of the massive Les Trois Vallées ski region. Val Thorens is popular due to its size but also for its snow reliability and long season.

 

You may enjoy more than simply winter in Val Thorens. In addition, it offers special events and activities nobody else offers. Val Thorens is notable for its oddball events, such as the "Folie Douce," a high-altitude apres-ski party with live bands, DJs, and dancing on the mountain.    

 

In addition, there are opportunities for ice diving at a neighbouring frozen lake and night skiing. Skiing is already an exciting and adventurous sport, but these extras take it to a whole new level.
