Where the action never stops
Article Abstract:
It is widely acknowledged that the best resort in Europe for glacier skiing is Zermatt, Switzerland. This resort's tourist office organizes ski-test weekends and a ski-test week in the skiing pre-season. The Theodul glacier has 21 km of pistes, and has longer runs than nearby Saas-Fee's glacier. The skiing day is short, with the lifts closing at 3pm. The weather can be unpredictable, with the glacier sometimes being shrouded in cloud cover.

Article Abstract:
The ski resort of St Moritz, Switzerland, is in a beautiful setting, on a lake and surrounded by mountains. It seems to be a very exclusive resort, with expensive shops, but it is possible to stay inexpensively at the youth hostel.
