Although this top five can’t be taken as unequivocal, it contains my top places for skiing holidaysin the Alps. Other people could list Chamonix, Les Menuires and Les Trois Vallees but this list represent my favorite skiing resorts.

1. Verbier, Switzerland ” With its four fantastic valleys and over 240 miles of slopes, this is a resort more for the experienced skier looking for a challenge. Exploring its off piste and moguls are just some of the things that make it worth your visit.

2. Chamonix, France – Situated at the foot of Mont-Blanc this town boasts fantastic skiing such as Les Grand Montets (1235 m ” 3000 m) and the linked areas of Br©vent / Fl©gre (1030 m – 2525 m) whilst providing a sense of adventure that won’t disappoint.

3. Les Deux Alpes, France ” Brilliant for all standards and infamous for its combination of summer and winter skiing with an excellent snow record. It is one enormous skiing resort where you’ll feel at ease.

4. Kitzbhel, Austria ” the 5 main skiing areas around the resort have plenty of slopes catering to the needs of everyone – this ski resort is one to try out. Contrary to the easy going nature of most of the courses Kitzbhel contains one of the most challenging world cup circuit courses in the world,the Hahnenkamm.

5.Neustift Austria ” With some of the best year round ski conditions and Austrias biggest glacial skiing resort Neustift is great for those traveling with family and friends. The main benefit of the area is the Stubai Glacier which covers over 100km of fantastic snow sure skiing runs.
