Huge mountains, expansive lift networks, and diverse terrain for every ability define the Alps' ski resorts.
With ski areas that span multiple valleys, and even across borders, connecting neighboring countries by ski lifts, the resorts found in the Alps are the most expansive in the world. Mega-resorts like Verbier / 4 Vallées (CH), Zermatt / Cervinia (CH / IT), St. Moritz & the Engadin, Monterosa (IT), and Portes du Soleil (FR & CH) to name a few, with literally hundreds of lifts, cablecars and gondolas connecting resorts to adjacent villages. The scale of the skiing is such that you most likely won’t even see it all in the course of a 1-week stay.
On the other end of the spectrum are the smaller satellite “mom-and-pop” resorts – sometimes connected to their larger neighbors, but often a separate entity with a discounted lift ticket, and an old-school vibe that disguises great skiing – an experience that takes you back to the golden age. This is the beauty of skiing in Europe – these authentic alpine villages that coexist side-by-side with the glitz and glamour of the high-end developed resorts unlike anywhere else in the ski world.
And every resort has its own character, from the historic centers of alpinism like Chamonix and Zermatt to the jet-set playgrounds of royals and celebrities of Gstaad and St. Moritz, to the freeride paradise of Verbier, known as much for the après ski and nightlife as it is for the powder skiing.
