After I installed Skype via snap:snap find "skype"
sudo snap install skype --classic
(since the old skype did crash after login)
I could not start it:
$ skype
bash: /usr/bin/skype: No such file or directory

Sounds like you still have the old skype installed. Consider removing it so you only have one.

Ah, so your shell thought Skype was still in /usr/bin. If you try in a new shell I bet it'll work.

Try linking to skype_skypeforlinux.desktop that comes with the snap into .local/share/applications:
> cd ~/.local/share/applications
> ln -s /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/skype_skypeforlinux.desktop skype-snap.desktop
You should then see Skype in the applications list.
This should work for vanilla Ubuntu/Gnome desktop.

I could run skype by typing this command in a terminal:
/snap/bin/skype
After skype started I right-clicked on the launcher-icon and clicked 'lock to launcher' which keeps the icon in the launcher and is clickable :)
Also note that you do not see the Skype icon when searching via Unity:
