Kufri is a small hill station in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. It is known as the 'Switzerland of India' thanks to its lovely ski spots suitable for beginners. There are 2 pistes and 1 surface lift. The summit is approx. 2500m and the vertical drop is just short of 480m. The best time to visit for skiing is during the months of December and January.
