Swiss Ski Self Catering
From As Little As £95.25pppw*

The creation of several new, top quality apartment complexes in the Swiss Alps has seen Switzerland rising quickly up the popularity ladder. With a growing number of beautifully appointed, self-catered residences, skiers are making the leap from the traditional French resorts over the border to Swiss resorts such as Champery, Laax and Nendaz.

Until recently, the majority of Swiss accommodation was in privately owned chalets, but the resorts have responded to the growing demand by independent travelers for apartments without compromise in luxury, comfort and convenience.

Erna Low Holidays, the original ski specialists, reports that bookings to these and the traditional popular resorts of Saas Fee, Zermatt and Verbier have increased three-fold year on year and is representing very satisfactory growth. Prices for the Erna Low Swiss program which is bookable through MountainPassions Ski Holidays start from £381.00,* 7 nights, for a one bedroom apartment sleeping up to 4 people at the Résidence Le Pracondu, Nendaz.

The Lodge at Champéry is a very upmarket property catering to a new luxurious level of accommodation,” says Jane Bolton, Managing Director, Erna Low Ski. “Nendaz is proving exceptionally popular due to its competitive pricing for a large ski area and the trendy Rocksresort in Laax is selling well because it operates on a Sunday/Sunday basis so clients can take advantage of booking off-peak travel fares.”
