But if you are a real skier, then when you list the names below, you will want to quickly wait until winter and go to one of these magnificent resorts.

So, the 10 largest in the world. Go!

Three Valleys, France

The Three Valleys are three main ski resorts - Courchevel (1760 m), Meribel (1450 m) and Val Thorens (2300 m). It is curious that the name Courchevel 1850 is not true - the resort is so named to compete with Val d'Isere and in fact it is located at an altitude of 1760 m.

Courchevel is the most expensive ski resort in the world. Hotels and chalets are mostly only 4-5*. The cost of expensive chalets for the New Year's week can reach up to 200 thousand euros and more. But if you relax a little lower at an altitude of 1550 m or 1650 m, then you can quite find acceptable accommodation for a less expensive vacation. The first week of January in Courchevel is called the “Russian New Year”. Well, it’s clear why, you don’t even have to explain. Want to participate? No problem, watch your wallets!

Meribel - very big resort, on it is located great amount Everyone's favorite French chalets, where you can stay with a group. A peculiarity is that restaurants with European rather than French food predominate. Meribel-1450 is a little low for spring skiing, but New Year everything should be ok.

Val Thorens is the highest resort in Europe and competes with Tignes and Flain for the title of the world's most inhospitable resort. But this only makes Val Thorens even cooler - it’s on the pistes and it doesn’t matter at all that it doesn’t have old promenade streets! But the atmosphere of the ski holiday is one of the best in France.

Space Killy, France

Consists of two main resorts - Val d'Isere (1850 m) and Tignes (2100 m) with the Grand Monte glacier.
Val d'Isere is a combination of classy hotels and chalets with excellent restaurants. It is located almost next to the highways. The resort is expensive. The nightlife is vibrant. A little unsuitable for beginners - the slopes are difficult, for those who love the thrill of speed.
Tignes - well, a little scary, of course, but there are several cool hotels in Le Lac, a few chalets. But in Val Clara there is a huge selection of apartments and apartments for inexpensive and even luxurious accommodation. But the presence of a glacier makes this resort one of the best in the world at the beginning and end of the season!
We really like skating in Killy Space - for those who are good at skating, this is the best the best choice in Europe!

Paradiski, France

One of the most interesting skiing regions. Consists of two large resorts- La Plagne and Les Arcs. Connected by the grandiose two-story Vanua Express cable car. It is quite difficult to ski all the slopes of this region in a week, but for real skiers this, of course, is not a problem.
The stations were built during the heyday of concrete and glass construction. The main advantage of this region is the possibility of inexpensive accommodation combined with great skiing! And, of course, Les Arcs - 1950 is an upscale five-star ski village with a very convenient location. There is a ice trail in this region, which means you can start skiing in the fall and finish skiing in late spring.
La Plagne is quieter than Les Arcs, less nightlife, and a rather unclear location of the hotels. But the skiing is calmer and the pistes are also very wide.

Portes du Soleil, France

This is a whole collection of 13 resorts that are connected into a single ski area. The region is close to the Franco-Swiss border and just an hour's drive from Geneva. The main resorts are Morzine, Avoriaz and Les Gets. Skiing between villages, you enjoy a ski safari and in one of the Swiss villages of Morgins you can taste world-class chocolate along with your morning tea! Along the ski route there are a huge number of high-quality mountain holiday huts with restaurants and panoramic views of the Alps, Lake Geneva and Geneva.

The only drawback of this ski area is its height. When there is a lot of snow, you don’t feel it, but by the third week of March the trails are already quite damaged by the sun and spring. And this is also not a problem, because there is the legendary Mutzig beer!
Great - short transfer from Geneva, ski safaris and nightlife in Morzine. Although the après ski is weak, and it’s a 30-minute drive to Avoriaz.

Avoriaz - more snow and closer to the sun!

Ski Welt, Austria

Well, finally, the first one Austrian resort in our series. But what!
The region is low, but one of the best equipped with snow cannons in Europe. Number one lowest priced resort in the Austrian Alps. A large number of inexpensive hotels and apartments. It is in Söl that there are stunning views from the trails passing through spruce forests and beautiful shelves, when it is difficult to take your eyes off the fabulous Tyrolean landscapes! Yes, it is the beauty and ease of skiing, combined with very inexpensive accommodation, that makes this region the number 1 competitor to all of the above. Because friendly après ski combined with the hospitality of the hotel and apartment owners raise this resort to unprecedented ratings on our list!

Arlberg, Austria

The main resorts in the ski region are St. Anton, St. Christoph, Lech and Zurs. The ski area in the region is quite confusing and difficult; there are narrow trails that are not recommended for beginners. But since 2016, new cable car The Flexenbahn between Zürs and Stuben closes the loop, creating a unique ski safari route for skiing and enjoyment. St. Anton is the birthplace of alpine skiing, the most old resort in the world.

St. Anton is a fantastic town! The après-ski bars Mooserwirt and Krazy Kangaruh are simply legendary. St. Anton is a difficult skiing for professionals. Easier - Lech. Lech is a gorgeous ski area, where it is very beautiful and every beginner can feel like a real professional!

Breul-Cervinia - Zermatt, Italy, Switzerland

Legendary and one of the most popular ski areas in Europe. Zermatt is on the Swiss side, magnificent, glamorous, with a stunning aura of antiquity and high cost. From the Italian side - Cervinia - fun local residents, a rather chaotic jumble of hotels, queues at the ski lifts, but surprisingly fun après ski!

No matter where you are, your attention will be drawn to the Matterhorn. This is the most famous mountain in the world.Everything best restaurants Zermatt looks towards the Matterhorn. And you will find it difficult to take your eyes off the Matterhorn even during lunch and dinner.
Hotels in Zermatt are of the highest quality, classic 19th century style combined with modernity. A city without cars, with horses and carriages, with small electric cars.
The most high point skiing in the Alps - 3900 meters!

The longest route is located on the Cervinia side, 22 kilometers long! Cervinia - a combination of reasonable prices in hotels, inexpensive food with excellent skiing near the Matterhorn. We love Cervinia!

Milky Way, Italy, France

An impressive ski area located along the border of Italy and France - Suz Dul, Sestriere, Montgenevre are the most famous and main resorts in this ski area. Suz Dul is very popular among those looking for cheap accommodation and has many bars and restaurants set among the unpaved streets. This is a fun and noisy resort, where there are a lot of young people. Sestriere - the highest mountain of those listed, took Olympic Games 2006.
Montgenevre is very beautiful, an old resort, where the first French woman was born. ski school, and in 1907 it hosted the first ski starts. The resort is famous for its restaurants - food and wine with real French charm.
The lifts in the region are a bit slow, but otherwise very good!

Sella Ronda, Italy

When you see the avenues of this region, the figure of 1,300 km of routes is a little misleading. These kilometers, of course, exist, but not all of them are connected by ski lifts; some must be reached separately. And yet, the most famous ring in Europe is the Sella Ronda. From her, as from ring line metro, you can start along radii to nearby resorts. The coziest, most fabulous and most popular is Selva. Located in Sella Ronda, it is well accessible and a convenient starting point in the region. Cortina Dampezzo is very popular, but it is conditionally associated with Sella Ronda and is not connected with any other resorts.
Of course, the main thing about the Dolomites is their beauty. Nothing compares to…. And so on. We like to ride clockwise in Sella Ronda because there are at least some black slopes, and you can go in the opposite direction just to admire the nature and enjoy the company.
Very little off-piste.

Chamonix, France

Chamonix is ​​a city, Chamonix is ​​a ski resort. Chamonix is ​​the center of world extreme sports. Chamonix is ​​the foothills of Mont Blanc. If you climb Aguille du Midi, you will discover amazing secrets of love for the Alps, including skiing along the White Valley (22 km of unprepared slopes) and the view of Maublanc!
