Saas-Fee: embedded in a magnificent landscape surrounded by 18 four-thousanders.

«The car-free glacier village of Saas-Fee at 1800 m above sea level. in the middle of the highest Swiss Alps exudes an unbelievable aura even on a clear night with a starry sky.»
2. Grächen VS
Recommended by reader Verena Korrodi:
«Grächen is beautiful and very family-friendly. We enjoy the Valais to the fullest.”
3. Murren BE
Recommended by reader Hanspeter Rickenbacher:
«Mürren, far away from the fashionable St. Moritz, Verbier and Zermatt. Mystical, and you kind of feel like you’re in Middle-earth in the truest sense of the word. This is not where the rich and beautiful go, but rather the intellectual and imaginative. Mürren stimulates places in your brain that you haven’t even discovered yet, give it a try!”
4. Gstaad BE

“Nice in every season.”
5. Zermatt vs

8. Scuol GR
Recommended by Blick reader Tina Säumer:

9. Grindelwald BE
Reader Christine Widmer recommends:
«You should definitely have seen Grindelwald. The village has a wide range of shops and the beautiful chalets create a balanced village picture. The excursion offers are great and everything is easily accessible on foot or by public transport (free if you stay there). There are hotels for every taste and budget. The locals are all very hospitable – from the shop assistant to the service staff to the community worker.»
