Go to Zermatt such a cool village that you need to take a train to, well people that work there can drive in I think. You could find work there for sure. Gets quit busy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zermatt

Do you speak italian, french or German? If so then look in the different Cantons where that language is spoken. If you don't speak any of these languages, and Spanish is your native language, you might choose the Italian speaking region, since both spanish and italian are both Romance languages and somewhat similar, so you have a better chance of getting a job. Maybe try Zermatt. I know an Argentinian who worked in a restaurant in a resort in Wengen. I worked in Grindelwald which had a decent nightlife scene with all the foreign workers hanging out and partying together. The Swiss are also very serious about their skiing, and you would need good experience and credentials if you want to be a ski instructor or ski patrol, especially not speaking the language. Bar, hotel, and restaurant work is more realistic However you might be a little late in getting a job. Most of the resorts already opened or are opening this week. The busiest time is christmas-new years. Some places hire more people than needed to work over this time period, then fire the worst workers and just keep the best

Go to Andermatt: At the crossroads of the Alps, in the Urseren Valley, this picture-postcard town lies at the junction of two alpine roads -- the St. Gotthard highway and the road to Oberalp and Furka. From the top of Gemstock, reached by cable car, you can see 600 alpine peaks. Hikers, cross-country skiers, and mountain bikers are attracted to this little backwater. The life of the town is centered on the main street, some sections of which are still paved with granite stone. it is very nice there.

1. the season has already started. 2. what other languages do you speak? german, english, french, italian?? if no other language, forget it. 3. as you are argentinian, it is very unlikely that you will get a work permit. (sorry)
