Switzerland has long prided itself on neutrality, resisting invasion and guarding its independence for centuries. Then Vail Resorts showed up. With its acquisition of Andermatt—and later Crans-Montana—the American ski giant now holds a controlling interest in two of the most storied resorts in the Swiss Alps. The question many skiers are asking: are the famously independent Swiss finally ready to embrace outsiders on their slopes?
For those following European ski news, this was the story of the year. After all, Vail Resorts expanding into Switzerland is no small development. Skiers across Europe and North America suddenly realized that with an Epic Pass in hand, Andermatt is now part of their winter playground. The move raised eyebrows: after ski resorts, what might Switzerland sell next? Chocolate? Red pocketknives? Basel?
