Saint-Moritz Roi Soleil, Switzerland

Flight time: Avg. 1 hour 35 minutes ~ Time difference: +1 hour ~ Currency: Swiss Franc

Fancy trying something new in the New Year? Well, January is a great time for skiing as it is less busy on the slopes so you will have more room to really hone your skills. To make the most of your winter holiday take a trip to our Swiss resort, Saint-Moritz Roi Soleil. As well as the amazing activities offered in-resort, such as Nordic walking and snow-shoeing, January brings lots of unique experience to the wider St Moritz ski resort. In the colder January weather, Lake St Moritz freezes over which means that visitors can enjoy ice-skating, curling, winter golf and skijoring on this unusual surface. Also, if you’re not ready for Christmas to be over just yet you can visit the Christmas Market and make magical discoveries. St Moritz is one of the oldest and most renowned ski resorts in the world, so it is the perfect destination to learn more about the Swiss culture and traditions as there are plenty of interesting places to visit such as museums and Roman remains. The high altitude of this ski domain increases the certainty of good snow conditions; this combined with quieter slopes makes this an idyllic skiing experience.
