Hi! My (36F) husband (41M) and I are looking to take a trip to Switzerland for snowboarding in Jan or Feb 2027. We live near Whistler, Canada so we usually get an "epic" pass which would give us access to the resorts mentioned in the title. We are intermediate to advanced level snowboarders but wouldn't be doing any backcountry etc.

What would you recommend for the following:

1. compact village that is walkable (similar to whistler if you are familiar) with lots of shops, bars, restaurants.
2. Ski in/ski out accomodation, again, access to the lifts near a main village
3. Lively with some apres options, evening bars, maybe DJs
4. Easy access from Zurich / Geneva airports without a vehicle

Thank you in advance!!

** PS If anyone has any specific hotel recommendations for the above spots (must have a hottub in the hotel!) I will gladly take them!
