The Daily Telegraph has just identified what it thinks are the 15 cutest village ski resorts, and I have to disagree with their choice. For instance, Zermatt “cute”? Hardly. Car-free, rocking, beautiful, busy… but cute? And hardly a village. In my opinion most of the cutest villages have limited pistes and antiquated lifts – which is maybe how they tend to stay cute.
Anyway, for what it’s worth, here’s my list of villages in Switzerland that are both cute and have access to plenty of the white stuff, in no particular order (click on the links for more info):
Adelboden
Gstaad
Mürren
Wengen
Andermatt
Stoos
Briel (Brigels)
Celerina
Klosters
Lenzerheide
Pontresina
Samnaun
Silvaplana
Les Diablerets
Champéry
Saas-Fee
St Luc/Chandolin
Grimentz
