A world record in Swiss ski resorts during the holidays

“Between December 26 and January 2, the ski area welcomed 115,000 customers in 8 consecutive days, a record never reached until now.” Like Télé Villars-Gryon-Diablerets, many ski resorts are smiling when taking stock of these two weeks of vacation for many Swiss. “The busiest day was December 30 with 16,200 customers, the 2nd best result in the company’s history,” noted the Vaudois Alps resort in a press release this Friday.

The freshly fallen snow, the perfect weather conditions, all in the middle of the end-of-year holiday period, have made the ski resorts very attractive, as evidenced by the videos which appeared on social networks showing huge queues of skiers. waiting at the ski lift departures. In Valais too, several records were broken, stations noted to “Nouvelliste”.

Anzère records “the best attendance ever” during the two weeks of the holidays. We also talk about the “best December we’ve ever had” in Grimentz-Zinal. Mid-altitude resorts also benefited from recording a good number of packages sold. The SRF notes that several stations in German-speaking Switzerland are also smiling, but without necessarily recording the records observed in French-speaking Switzerland.
