10 best ski resorts around the world - Top 5
5. Banff / Lake Louise, Alberta, Western Canada Situated within Canada's Banff National Park, Lake Louise is known as one of the most scenic mountain resorts in North America, and possibly the entire world. Banff/Lake Louise has three different ski areas, the legendary Mount Norquay, Sunshine Village, and Lake Louise within a 50 km radius. 4. Vail, Colorado, Western United States World famous as a ski resort, Vail markets itself as "America's favorite resort" and deserves to be ranked amongst the world's top five all-around ski resorts. As the largest single ski area in the United States, Vail offers roughly 5,300 acres of skiable terrain. Hearty and fun-filled, Vail offers much more with several art galleries, museums, ballooning, dog sledding, ice skating, hockey, snowmobiling, and much more. 3. Zermatt, Switzerland Surrounded by world famous resorts, like Gstaad, known as one of the world's top resorts with its three five-star hotels and the popular, stylish and ritzy St. Moritz, but most rank Zermatt as Switzerland's most beautiful resort. A remarkably peaceful getaway, the village is peaceful ( and air pollution free too ) thanks to its car-free environment. Amazingly picturesque, Zermatt is also home to the world's second biggest lift-served vertical drop and receives huge snowfalls thanks to its altitude. 2. Kitzbuhel, Austria St. Anton Am Arlberg holds the crown of "Europe's liveliest ski resort," Lech ( plus neighbouring Zurs ) is the most stylish and exclusive ski resort and Innsbruck, host of the Winter Olympics in 1964 and 1976, is home to one of Europe's liveliest and most beautiful cities , Kitzbuhel is considered the "Pearl of the Alps", with a skiing history dating over a century, and is the most famous holiday resort in the Austrian Tyrol. This 700-year-old village offers visitors the traditional hospitality, charm and beauty of an alpine village. 1. Whistler / Blackcomb, British Columbia Two legendary towering mountains provide the best skiing in the North American continent, with the biggest vertical drop. It's funny what a difference 30 years and a whole lot of money can make to what was previously nothing more than a mountain for adventurous mountaineers. Today, Whistler's charming global village offers everything snowboarders and skiers crave; cafes, international stores and over 100 restaurants that cater to all tastes including Chinese, French, Greek, Italian, Mediterranean, Mexican and Thai cuisine. Consistently voted "Best North American Ski Resort" by North Americans, and a favourite destination of Japanese tourists, Whistler is undisputably one of the strongest contenders for the title of the world's greatest ski resort. 6th to 10th Best Ski resorts in the world Skiing in the Alps St Anton, Europe`s Liveliest Ski Resort Search for ski resorts |
