In Switzerland, Just Take the Train Right to the Slopes

Many don’t know this but the name Switzerland means “take the train to” (Switzer) “the slopes” (land).

Well, either way, check out this wonderful ad for the “Ride and Slide” ticket you can buy in Switzerland. No need for a car, the regular passenger train in particular regions has stops right at the slopes so you can pick up the train in town, head up to ski, jump back on the train, and be back in your flat, or your cozy Swiss chateau without once driving a car. Heaven.
