| Good winter ski season for Switzerland |
Tuesday 15 May 2007 |
Tourism during the winter ski season in Switzerland was more successful than had been predicted, according to Swiss officials.
Despite the warm temperatures Swiss hoteliers have revealed good results, and ski-life operators saw a decrease in turnover of just five per cent, swissinfo.org reports.
Ski resorts situated over 1,800 metres above sea-level "fared reasonably well", although resorts which were low-lying did not do as well because of a lack of snow.
Mila Trombitas from the Swiss Tourism Federation said: "The lack of snow has had far less drastic effects than one could have imagined."
A reliance on artificial snow produced by special canons was cited as a reason for the success of some resorts.
"High altitude and technology are two success factors," added Felix Maurhofer, a spokesperson for the Ski Lifts' Association.
A skiiing break in Switzerland is always enjoyable but now is not the best time of year to visit a Swiss resort. However, Chile is a great place to visit for a skiing break during the summer months, where adventurous holidaymakers can even ski down volcanoes!
