i went to zermatt this summer and it was sick. the park was super fun. nothing too amazing, but I'd imagine it would be a lot bigger and better in the winter though.

NOT Verbier.

And NOT Zermatt in the Winter.

The best park in Switzerland is in Laax, hands down. The parks in Portes du Soleil are also very good but less well maintained. Saas-Fee is pretty good.

Pre-season and end of season Les Diablerets / Glacier 3000 is really sick, as wel as Kaunertal and Schnalstal, which are technically Austria and Italy, but they are on the border with Switzerland.

Zermatt has shit for park in the winter. The shapers are only there during the summer.

les diablerets has a sick pack.

whoever bashed verbier, dont be too hasty. firstly, if you go to verbier, you are 1 hours skiing distance from the veysonnaz/thyon and nendaz parks. 2 pretty sick parks. the veysonnaz one is listed in the european park guide as one of the top 10, so it aint too shabby.

if the awesome ski to those parks is too much though, verbier have got a new head shaper in this year, Dave Young. he's been at the head of British and European ski progression for years now, and he's being helped out by my boy Harris, who knows his shit. things are looking up for verbier this year.

Portes du Soleil parks hands down. The Portes du Soleil area pass will allow you to ski into france which opens up other parks such as The Stash in Avoriaz.

Laxx also has a sick park most of the year.

The two places you need to know:

1)Laax

2)Les Crosets (Portes du Soleil)

Avoriaz of Portes du soleil but on the french side, but for my point of view is better than les crossettes.

There are parks in many Swiss resorts nowadays. But you should go for Laax, Saas Fee or Les Crosets. You can check out resorts in Switzerland with parks on Mysnowparks.com - go to FIND PARKS.
