RESORTS

We've chosen some top ski resorts for you, resorts that offer vast amounts of snow-sure skiing and with plenty to do off the slopes

All of our resorts have been carefully selected for their high altitude and surety of snow cover from early season to late Easter. All have accessible skiing at over 2000 metres, with some resorts such as Saas Fee having high altitude skiing at over 3500 metres. In over 60 years of providing ski tours, Ski Gower have never had an issue with snow cover, and have never needed to relocate our Customers to an alternative ski area.

In addition to their altitude, another consideration for our resorts is the varied range of skiing to cater for all levels of skiing ability. Resorts such as Davos offers 6 different ski areas and over 300 kilometres of skiing which is more than enough for a weeks skiing for any seasoned skier.

The slope operators in our resorts are also second to none, providing perfectly groomed pistes for both your safety and enjoyment.

This years programme is focussed on the following 3 resorts but we can also provide options for many other resorts such as Engelberg, Meiringen, Leysin, St Moritz, Arosa and Lenzerheide, Crans Montana and many more.

Each resort has plenty of options for affordable evening entertainment, ranging from swimming, to skating, bowling and the like. There's plenty of restaurants for that pizza or ice cream evening too. There are more details on the available evening entertainments on each of the resort pages.
