Hello, I had made a booking in one of the finest hotels in Zermatt for last week of February. But for some reason I am unable to go. If anyone interested, I am selling my booking for a discount (it was a non-cancellable booking but the hotel has agreed to take in any guest I suggest in place of me). Let me know on chandgothia@gmail.com.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi,
Engelberg is tough, go for Flumserberg there is a ski shuttle train from Zürich to Unterterzen on week-ends. If you are going just for 1 or 2 days check out the Snow'n'rail option by Swiss Railway SBB. Pizol is also good for a day. Toggenburg is a bit far out, not been to Braunwald. Check this link http://www.sbb.ch/en/leisure-holidays/day-trips/snownrail.html?_charset_=UTF-8®ion=ostschweiz&keyword=
Happy skiing.

Thanks for the feed back I will follow your advise.
One last question, do you know of a reasonable priced hotel in Zurich that is close so I can walk to the train station?

Just want to add:
Flumserberg will be chock-bloc full on week-ends so go VERY early to beat the queues !
same goes for all the resorts really when half of Switzerland heads to the mountains in good weather.
Happy skiing.
