The ski and snowboard season is slowly starting in the Swiss Alps, with limited skiing on some glaciers. Skiing and snowboarding are not the only things to do in the Alps though, with most resorts offering cross-country skiing, sledging, snowshoe itineraries and a host of other seasonal activities. In addition many resorts feature a number of off-piste activities, such as spas, music concerts and festivals and après ski. There is also a full itinerary of winter sports events planned, the pick of which include:
