Lots going on around the Swiss Alps in January with the Lauberhorn and Inferno races being the highlights. Various balloon festivals take place too, and many vintage cars will be wending their way between Davos, St Moritz and Lenzerheide. Some more colourful images will no doubt be on hand at Arosa‘s Gay Ski Week.
