When autumn arrives, people often think ahead to booking their ski trips. Popular ski resorts get booked up very quickly each year and so it is important to think about any trip well in advance. Here are some of the best places to go skiing. You can also enjoy walking and other winter activities in these countries and resorts.
France
You have lots of options if you are looking at booking a ski trip in France. The Three Valleys is very famous and attracts thousands of keen skiers every year. Resorts that are worth exploring include Courchevel, Morzine, Val d’Isere, Les Arcs and Tignes. There is a big variety in terms of price options, with luxury chalets and lower cost options available in most of the destinations.
Austria
Austria often appeals to those who want to ski early in the year as it has a lot of high up destinations that receive snowfall at the beginning of the season. Solden pretty much guarantees snow early on and it also has two glacier areas that can be skied. Kuhtia has north-facing slopes, which helps to ensure there are skiable conditions from very early on in the season.
Switzerland
Known for being on the pricier side of the skiing options, Switzerland has some incredible resorts. Verbier is glamourous and popular with members of the Royal family. There is also St. Moritz for those who enjoy the jet set chic side of the skiing – this resort even hosts snow polo! Gstaad is very upmarket as well.
US
If you travel to America for skiing, you can hit the slopes on both the East and West Coast. In the East Coast, Killington and Stowe are the obvious choices and they are very family-friendly. If you go West, Mammoth Mountain and Heavenly are popular. They have lovely scenery.
Canada
Whistler is the resort that everyone talks about when you plan a ski trip to Canada. It is known for its expansive reach and vast terrain. Banff and Lake Louise and also popular choices for those making the trip to this part of the world to hit the slopes. Like with the West Coast of America, if you are travelling from Europe, you need to account for jetlag as it will impact your trip at the start.
