Saaserhof, Saas-Fee

Advantages: stunning
Disadvantages: pricey

...Switzerland is the ultimate holiday destination in Europe for those who want to see stunning scenery, wildlife and experience a unique culture. Switzerland is a great place for visitors for many reasons. For me, the ultra-efficient transport system allows accessibility to anywhere in the country. Transfers to resort are by train rather than coach as the system is so reliable and efficient. Zurich and Geneva both have train stations in there airports and English speaking assistance is always available. I've visited Switzerland on three separate occassions - Lake Maggiore/Zermatt, Interlaken and Saas Fee. I've also visited a number of places in each region, made accessible by the trains.

Advantages: Central Location, Many Faces
Disadvantages: one has to love landscape with mountains

...I was in Switzerland for quite a long time, and have to say that this is an amazing place to go. Switzerland is a very small country, but it offers everything for a relaxing holiday. The mountains offer many possibilities, from hiking to skiing. In the summer, everyting is green and peaceful, and in the winter, one can ski in many different places in this country.

Disadvantages: Unchallenging for advanced skiers; poor food

...and lamb-roast for those keen to experience something other than cheap drink and discos. For ourselves, we found Bulgarian people friendly and welcoming. So what, if the hotel food is nothing like what you’d get in Meribel or Saas Fee? This is Bulgaria, after all, a country with a struggling economy where the ski-instructors earn little more than £40 a month (so hopefully you will feel happy to tip at the end of the week). We appreciated the great lack of pretension here – no-one actually cares which season’s jacket you are wearing and, at the end of the trip, four novices came home able to ski, entirely converted to the cause, and that, surely, has to be a good thing for the sport....
