Arosa Lenzerheide or St. Moritz?
St. Moritz takes 4 of 9, with 2 too close to call. That still does not settle it — only the categories you care about count.
Switzerland
Arosa Lenzerheide
Two old resorts joined by a cable car in 2013 to make 225 km, and still less known than Davos an hour away. Sunny, wide and quiet, with a late season on the Lenzerheide side.
Worth knowing. Two resorts joined by one cable car. A queue there costs you the day.

St. Moritz
High, sunny Engadin skiing spread across separate mountains, wrapped around a resort town that has been selling glamour since 1864. The skiing is better than its reputation suggests; the prices are exactly as bad.
Worth knowing. Separate mountains, and prices that assume you are not counting.

Bold marks the winner. Rows where neither is bold are close enough that the difference would not change a decision. Cost excludes travel, which depends on where you leave from.
Piste kilometres, lift counts and prices are indicative and compiled from public sources — they have not yet been checked against the resort's own figures for this season. Costs are planning estimates, not quotes. Spotted one that is wrong? Tell us.
