Switzerland has a big advantage over other European countries - at the end of December and January there is almost always snow (at least in the mountains). Real, shaggy, lying in large snowdrifts along streets and houses.
If you want to catch the holiday itself, it is better to go to Switzerland for Christmas, since the New Year is practically not celebrated in this country. For noisy festivities and festive fun it is worth choosing one of major cities - Christmas markets are held there, sweets and souvenirs are sold.
If you want peace, you should choose one of the ski resorts: the celebrations there are not so large-scale, but there is an opportunity to enjoy the privacy and beautiful mountain landscapes.
The best option, in our opinion, is to celebrate Christmas in the city, and then go skiing or snowboarding to one of the Swiss resorts.

- The most important - try to buy hotels and tickets as early as possible(in September - November, or generally in summer). Wherever you go, as the New Year approaches, the prices for tours and independent vacations are growing every day.
- If you are not critical of directly celebrating the New Year abroad, but want to plunge into the European Christmas culture or go to the sea and the beach - look for options with a return BEFORE or departure AFTER New Year's Eve. Such options can cost several times cheaper than a trip that includes New Year's Eve.
- Sales in Europe start in January - if shopping is important to you, plan your holidays for the New Year so as not to return to Russia at the very beginning of January.
We hope this selection of countries for holidays for the New Year 2020 in Russia and abroad will help you decide on a vacation spot for the New Year holidays!
