Yo :) my family are going to switzerland skiing this year for new years and I'm going with them, and since its my first new year when Im legal (for NZ at least), I was really wanting to go out clubbing or instead of just going to bed at 9 or something. Problem is I won't have any of my friends there at the same time, and I don't know anyone my age to go with :( we're staying in the alps in Villars Sur Ollon with my family, a cute little village near verbier. So the question is: How old do you have to be to legally drink in switzerland?? I'm 18 Are there many students around new years in Verbier/villars, and is it safe to go out on my own? And wheres to best place to have a great new years with people my age :) Thanksss :) and btw my french is extremly limited. Just did it in highschool and can order food but thats about it, but also if people my age are good enough at english to have a laugh with. Otherwise I'll crack down on my conversation skills before I go

Hi! I'm very young Indian guy who studies in Europe, away from parent's home. My friends made a plan to go skiing at Villars-sur-ollon in Switzerland. I told my friends I'd love to ski with them but didn't realize, it could be a difficult deal to follow. I was happy to travel in gondola to the top. As I start to ski down, after a while I am not able to make a balance or take control, thus falling 4 times within 15 metres distance. The steep was too sharp and way too difficult for a beginner. I was counting, how many times, I saved myself from dying. My friends were only encouraging me to skii! I fell as I just arrived back from a trolly with skiboards on due to imbalance, saving my neck from being hit. There were some really dangerous brinks and gaps and I felt if I fall in that, I'm clear dead. I took courage and walked down that steep slope carrying heavy ski equipments on my weak shoulders, some people even warned me to be careful as I might be hit. I felt so embarrassed and shameful as some people gave me a pity or crazy look, I even felt like crying. I didn't even tell my parents that I'm going to ski and don't plan to tell them at all. They already told me many times, I'm different to europeans and I can't compare myself to them. My mother gets worried easily.....I feel bad for wasting almost 300 euros including everything and the entire experience was in vain. I'm a strong believer in Jesus though and my prayers saved my life today.

i really like the nature ,, and i find the best country it is Switzerland ,, i like that Enviorment there i like that nature in Switzerland anyway i visited Switzerland One Before 2 Years ,, 2007 and i will visit it this year , so i will go for 12 days only

we're there for 7 nights. thinking of doing one day at zermatt and one night at interlaken. Pls do let us know what's the best thing to see cause this would be a once in a lifetime thing. How;s the snow at this time? Is it cheaper to take a swiss pass or travel each day on its own? for eg, how much would a train ticket in second class cost from aigle to say zermatt?
