The best ski resorts in Europe, from budget to luxury
The best ski resort in Europe? Pretty impossible to say â as it depends entirely on what youâre looking for, be it wild aprĂ©s ski, affordability, or guaranteed snow. While the basic premise of a ski holiday is the same (ski, drink, sleep, repeat), Iâve visited enough resorts to know that each one has its own character.Â
Below, youâll find my top picks for every kind of ski holiday, from the best ski resort for Christmas to where to ski at Easter, the bougie to the budget-friendly, and even the best resort for the non-skiers. To do this, Iâve factored in snow conditions, ski runs, life off the slopes, and of course, my own many years of skiing. Enjoy the slopes!
