Quite extensive programs for active leisure (mainly skiing) are offered by such popular resorts as Nendaz, Interlaken, Saas-Fee, Grindelwald, Flims and Laax, Ovronnaz, Champéry, Gstaad, St. Moritz and Engelberg.
Thermal resorts – treatment with entertainment
Leukerbad, Yverdon-les-Bains, Bad Ragaz – these resorts are for those who like to combine business with pleasure: to have a good rest and improve their health. The healing water of the local springs has been used since the 11th century. And now doctors recommend using it in the form of baths for the treatment of the musculoskeletal system, diseases of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. In addition to treatment, vacationers can enjoy other pleasures of resort recreation, including skiing in winter.
This is a rather modest list of magnificent resorts, far from fully reflecting all the diversity that hospitable Switzerland can offer. To visit each of them may take many months, and that is wonderful!
Where to stay?
If you have chosen a suitable vacation spot, it would not be superfluous to think about where to stay, as there are also plenty of options.
In Switzerland there are both luxurious expensive hotels and simpler hotels. Many of them are real architectural monuments and have a history of more than a century. Their walls remember many world celebrities who visited this country at different times. There are not so many five-star hotels in Switzerland – 35, some of them are among the top of the 'Top International Hotels' association.
The cost of living in them is quite high, but the level of service and services offered is impressive: pools, exercise equipment, SPA centers, private indoor courts and much more for the most discerning taste are offered to their guests.
For those looking for a budget vacation, the doors of two- and three-star hotels, as well as numerous chalets, are always hospitably open. The range of services in such establishments is naturally more modest.
Basic one-star hotels are occupied by those travelers who need a place for temporary accommodation, not comfortable pastime. They are small student dormitories – hostels. The atmosphere is ascetic, with shared shower and toilet on the floor. But everything is very neat and clean. There are almost 500 campsites in the country where you can stay for a very reasonable fee. You will be offered a shower, a grill, a place for a tent and parking. It is important to remember that where accommodation is not provided, parking is strictly prohibited. Therefore, it is worth carefully planning your route.
Whatever option you choose, one thing is certain: the host side will do everything possible to ensure that your vacation impressions are the most pleasant.
