2. Fondue – another Swiss favorite, this dip involves melted cheese served with bite-sized pieces of bread.

3. Glühwein – a warming drink served at most ski resorts, this spiced wine is the perfect way to toast to a day on the slopes.

What to Wear

Finally, it’s important to dress appropriately for a day on the slopes. Here are some essential items to pack:

1. Base Layers – these are essential for keeping warm and dry, especially if you’re skiing in cold temperatures.

2. Ski Jacket – look for a jacket with insulation and a waterproof outer layer.

3. Ski Pants – these should be waterproof and breathable to keep you comfortable on the slopes.

With these tips in mind, you’re now ready to hit the slopes and indulge in some après-ski drinks. Happy skiing!
