A Quick Swiss Ski Checklist

Book accommodation early for Christmas, New Year and February school holidays.
Buy lift passes online where possible and confirm which areas they cover.
Wear a helmet, carry sun protection and bring goggles for bright, high-altitude light.
Check conditions and the SLF avalanche bulletin before skiing off-piste, and never go alone.
Consider Rega membership for emergency helicopter rescue and arrange travel insurance with winter-sports cover.
