Switzerland: Top 10 for Snowboarding
The slopes cover 6 mountains here, but most members of the one-plank world are drawn to the Jakobshorn like the famished to a fondue. It might have a little something to do with the groomers (we love the red Brama and blue Talabfahrt Gampen) – if not these, it’ll be the abundant… + more
Legendary powder and extreme steeps unite; Verbier has some of the world’s best terrain in the freeride department. There are deep powder trails from the top of almost every lift, including some corkers on Mont Gele, Vallon d Arbi and off the backside of Mont Fort. On a bluebird,… + more
It’s a good thing there’s a snow park open in the summertime here, because one week in the winter doesn’t quite suffice. You’ll find an awesome 120m superpipe and kickers twice the size of houses in the Morenia Park, on top of other features for different abilities – and don’t… + more
Zermatt’s a big hit for mileage-hungry riders, with 200km of corduroy, and another 160km if you pop over the border to Italian Cervinia. And that’s not counting what’s available for powder hounds, who can test their salt over 36km of smashing itineraries (we love the ones on the… + more
Raise your glasses to snowboarder extraordinaire Pat Burgener: not only was he the first to land a backside triple cork 1440, he also helped to create the Adrenaline Zone here, and did a ruddy good job. A championship-sized half pipe and a boardercross are the tip of the iceberg –… + more
While some things in St M are invite-only, a humble lift ticket’s your ‘Access All Areas’ pass to the important stuff: there’s an ocean of terrain here (350km to be precise), and it’s yours to surf. Newbies will find a wealth of blues from the Salastrains lift (Munt da San… + more
Mürren is the stuff Warren Miller films are made of. The drop off the Schilthorn is a classic, and after a dump there’s an unholy amount of powder to play in. Slap bang in the centre of the area is the Blumental bowl, where you’ll have a blast as you dodge the rocks and jump the… + more
Access to the same cracking ski area, but without all of Verbier’s razzmatazz, this laid-back sister resort is a bonnie base for boarders. A big attraction is the access to kind blues, which dip in and out of the pockets of trees. The one from the Alpage drag lift is an ego-… + more
Sharing six mountains with boarding capital Davos, Klosters adds a touch of classic lux to the same epic boarding scene. On the Madrisa Mountain, red 9 has wide twists and turns, making for an XL adrenaline rush. Red 8, further up the mountain, is a real challenge and packs a… + more
Small and cosy Grindelwald very well may be, but when it comes to boarding, this place has one big card to play - its membership into the Jungfrau region. Beginners can count on the Altitude Snowboard School to get those heel and toe-side turns flowing smoothly. There are some… + more
Even in the well groomed areas of Switzerland, the top resorts for snowboarding aren’t necessarily the same as the best resorts for skiing... So what makes a snowy Swiss mountain amazing for snowboarding? A super snow park (or two...), modern lifts (few button/drag lifts) and easy-to-reach off piste for starters. Many snowboarders see a lively apres ski scene as a must for a top snowboard resort... And the list goes on... Above we've put together a list of the top 10 snowboard resorts in Switzerland.
Many winter resorts are great for snowboarding - you can see how good a mountain is for snowboarders by checking the marks-out-of-five in our resort descriptions - but if you're wondering which are the very best snowboard resorts in Switzerland, look no further! We've also created Top Ten lists of the best snowboard resorts in Italy, France, Austria and the World - showing you the greatest boarding spots on the planet, including an appearance from one of the Swiss resorts above...
