Switzerland is home to some great ski resorts. For sheer charm and spectacular scenery, the 'traffic-free' villages of Wengen, Miirren, Saas Fee and Zermatt take some beating. Many resorts have impressive ski areas too - including some of the biggest, highest and toughest skiing in the Alps.
Downhill skiing in its modern form was invented in Wengen and Miirren, which were persuaded to open their summer railways in winter to take their British guests up the mountain to ski. Switzerland is the home of the traditional mountain village which has transformed itself from farming community into year-round holiday resort. Many of Switzerland's most famous ski resorts are as popular in the summer as in the winter, or more so. This creates resorts with a much more lived-in feel to them and a much more stable local community. Many of the resorts are still run and dominated by a handful of families who were lucky or shrewd enough to get involved in the early development of the resorts. The trains run like clockwork to the advertised timetable (and often they run to the top of the mountain, doubling up as a ski-lift). The food is almost universally of good quality, and much less stodgy than in neighbouring Austria. Although it is expensive, there are fashionable resorts in France.
