Swiss prices
Started by User in Switzerland, 24 Replies
It depends partly on the resort e.g. Saas-fee, Zermatt etc are very expensive, Morgins much less so. But it seems clear to me that *in general* Switzerland is more expensive than France for the ski passes, definitely for food, and marginally for accommodation, though the standard of accommodation is probably a little higher than in France and I think that many of the resorts are smaller and prettier and better run than the French ones.

There are, however, some good deals around at the moment to attract foreigners, especially given the strong Swiss Franc. Worth checking specific resorts like Crans-Montana, or for example, the Swiss trains operate a snow and rail deal with discounts on travel and ski passes (www.sbb.ch), and I have found very good deals on websites such as www.myswitzerland.com
