Those of you that have been to either Saas Fee or Zermatt will have certainly driven or caught the train right past this small, but surprisingly varied ski area.

Grächen is located in the same deep valley as these two famous resorts, but it is very different. The uncrowded local slopes are fairly limited in their extent, but offer surprising variety, with everything from good beginner runs to steeper blacks and off piste.

The compact resort centre acts as a great base and is accessed via a winding road from the valley below. Off the slopes, a network of winter walking trails, tobogganing routes and snowshoe paths crisscross the mountainside, making Grächen a great option for mixed groups of skiers and non-skiers.

Snow Overview

Switzerland

Updated 02/05

Warm weather opens the weekend across Switzerland, with the freezing line sitting high at close to or above 4,000m throughout. Things change as the weekend continues, with temperatures cooling as the freezing line comes down to as low as 1,500m.

Cloud cover dominates, and with it precipitation; this will fall as rain initially, but will turn to snow as temperatures fall. Around 12cm will fall in steady flurries throughout the weekend and into the new week, falling almost entirely on higher ground as the freezing line remains above 2,000m during this period.

High pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions especially across the west of the region.

Thus concludes our snow overviews for this season. Thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
