From Europe to Australia, we present to you some of the finest ski resorts in the world.
- Grandvalira, Andorra
Sitting between France and Spain, this small European country is where this ski resort is located. The resort is comprised of three little ski areas and is known for luxury accommodation and very lively nightlife.
Also, thanks to its proximity to above-mentioned countries, you will be able to visit some nearby cities like Barcelona while on winter holidays.
- Grindelwald, Switzerland
Switzerland has a very long tradition and culture of skiing and enjoying the snow. Yet another small, cozy and luxurious ski resort is located in the Swiss Bernese Alps.
Beautiful mountain village located in the very center of Grindelwald ski resort is his main highlight. The resort is surrounded by an array of sharp mountain tops, giving away the feeling of isolation.
- Val Thorens, France
I don’t believe that any list of the best ski resorts in the world could be complete without mentioning Val Thorens. Sitting on the highest peak of famous French Trois Vallees region, Val Thorens is enjoying large chunks of snowfall throughout the year with winter season lasting for more than 6 months thanks to the climate.
At the same time, it is one of the largest ski resorts in Europe along Val d’Isere and is connected with nearby Meribel and Courchevel valleys, so there are lots of material to explore for enthusiasts.
- Aspen, USA
With nearly every other ski town comparing itself to it, Aspen is definitely one of the best ski resorts in the US, if not even the world.
Some people find this ski resort very crowded and not suitable for enjoying your ski trip unobtrusively. But the others just love Aspen for that very fact.
Also, there is a great chance of seeing some famous faces while at Aspen. Movie stars, musicians, Olympic medalists – they all love spending time in Colorado.
- Thredbo, Australia
He who’s saying that Australia doesn’t have a potential for winter sports has obviously never visited Australian Snowy Mountains.
Being dubbed for years as a pricey destination for most of the Europeans, a large influx of Brits in the last couple of years are breaking this prejudice. Going to Australia on a budget is also possible so lots of students are coming to ski and are booking Snowy Mountains accommodation.
Thredbo ski resort is home to continent’s largest ski and hiking trails, with lots of content for anyone, so it’s definitely worth visiting.
- Whistler, Canada
Due to its very close distance to the Pacific Ocean, this ski resort is getting struck by lots of Pacific storms throughout the year so it is pretty abundant in the snow.
This resort is known as a favorite destination for skiers of differing experience as it provides content for all kinds of skiers. All-around compatibility of this resort makes it very crowded and one of the most popular in Northern America.
