Skiing and snowboarding are part of Swiss life—with slopes a couple of hours' drive from cities like Bern, trips to the Alps are commonplace, whether it's a summer hike or some winter piste action. Switzerland, in particular, is home to some of the world's best terrain, where local restaurants serve hearty alpine food to fuel the day's sporty action.

The white-dominant world of snow sports was never something that deterred artist BombayMami from hitting the powder: “I grew up on the snowboard; I can see the mountains from my house in Bern,” she tells Trippin.

With a Varanasi father and a Bernese mother, BombayMami grew up between India and Switzerland, embracing both sides of her heritage—whether it's repping South Asian fashion or honing her alpine sports skills—or doing both at the same time. "The combination of an Indian outfit on the slopes is something we haven't seen before. I think that is what is attractive about it, the two cultural worlds."

BombayMami has never felt alienated or alone on the slopes and often goes boarding with a diverse crew of friends from different backgrounds. She gives us her guide to her favourite Swiss mountain areas.
