In the heart of the most traditional Swiss canton is one of its oldest ski areas and the location of the very first Swiss Ski School. Hoch-Ybrig has a loyal following of friendly regulars and day-trippers from Zurich, less than two hours away by a combination of train and bus (via Wädenswil and Einsiedeln), and little more than an hour by car. There is enough variety to justify a day’s outing for skiers or snowboarders, on and off piste – particularly after a good dump.
