Famed for its avalanche-controlled powder routes like the Valluga Summit, this region exists to push even the most experienced of skiers to their limits.
Level: Intermediate + Advanced
Highlight: Ideal for those looking for big mountain thrills and even better après with its slopeside bars of Mooserwirt and Krazy Kanguruh to crack open a Wieselburger post-run.

Acclaimed for its 1,800m altitude snow reliability and pedestrianised design, Avoriaz is a ski village entirely surrounded by snow. The very definition of a winter wonderland.

Bridging Poland and Slovakia whilst bragging no fuss affordability, the Tatra Mountains is a prime location for those starting out their journey into snow sports.
On the Slovakian side, the High Tatras is home to larger, quieter resorts with stunning mountain scenery at its core. By comparison on the Polish side, Zakopane provides a collection of smaller, bustling ski areas immersed in social buzz and polish folklore. There’s really something for everyone.

Not to be taken lightly, this resort boasts a huge 60% black and double-black diamond terrain, steep chutes, and backcountry territory.
As home to one of North America’s steepest vertical drops, Terminator Peak’s Double Dutch, you’ll understand why this region is coined the ’wild west’ of British Columbia skiing.

Characterised by authentic village charm, varied ski areas, and high-energy après, you’ll find all levels of skiers and snowboarders gathering here at Val-d'Isère.
What this spot does especially well is maintain a unique balance of high altitude peaks and natural terrain flow. Where many destinations of similar altitudes fall short with flat, exposed environments, here, you can expect long winters, dependable snow, and glacier access.
Head straight from the snow to Dick’s Tea Bar, Cocoricos, or La Folie Douce for DJs and dancing well into the night.
Level: Intermediate + Advanced for off-piste
Highlight: Additional access to Tignes unlocks slopes of up to 3,456m on the Grande Motte glacier.

Chamonix: the capital of alpine touring.

Because of this, you'll find a solid guiding culture, avalanche forecasting, as well as cars, lifts, and trains dropping you directly into glaciated terrain.
Most notably: the Montenvers. Built in 1908 and running from Chamonix town centre to Montenvers (1,913m), the Montenvers train enables one of the most epic access points in the Alps.
Level: Intermediate + Advanced for off-piste
Highlight: Vallée Blanche, a legendary, 23km off-piste descent over glaciers. This is not to be missed.

Once on land, your mission is to hike the snow-engulfed mountains and ski back down to ocean level after reaching the top. A real test of grit and endurance.
