Guide to ski mtns in Europe

Best apres/nightlife:

France - Val d'siere
Austria - St anton
Switzerland - verbier

All of those spots also have wild skiing, amazing freeride potential and huge skiable areas, can't go wrong with any of them.

If you're looking for parks val d'isere is good, val thorens is meant to be good, avoriaz is fun for france. Mayrhofen is good in austria and laax is good in switzerland.

Generally you're safest going january to march, the last few years have had pretty poor starts to the season quite often limited opening untill new years but then finishing the season strong with storms in april and even may.

Hi,

After talking to a bunch of German and italian coworkers, here is a list I assembled below along with some helpful links at the bottom

Best:



-Val d'Isère - big, good expert skiing and dec beginner skiing, fun nightlife. cons: expensive, hard to get to

-Méribel France - good nightlife and good mix of abilities for skiing. Could be hard to get to.

ISCHGL – FP says fun and decent skiing

Tignes – good skiing, looks hard to get to tho

Morzine avoriaz – FP recommends

FP Italy recommendations

Sellaronda

Alta Bodia

Groden



maybe:

-Cervinia - big, reliable snow. 90 min from turin

FP says kinda flat/dull

-Courmayeur, italy. good nightlife, good mix of abilities tho maybe more beginner oriented.

FP says kinda flat/dull

Corvara - italy, intermediate, need to do more research. FP says good on piste, no nightlife.

Cortina d'Ampezzo 
"best charm" and advanced skiing. not sure how to get there. FP says $$$

Sauze d'Oulx, France. good nightlife, good intermediate but not necessarily good beginner/expert. FP Recommends



no:



livigno- cheap but too flat/far away

alpbach - beginner

Serre Chevalier - mixed terrain but "limited nightlife"

Pas de la Casa - andorra, good nightlife but unclear how good skiing is. crowded.

Söll - austria. cheap but mixed snow quality, not good for beginners

Scotland? You'll never experience anything like it, anywhere. It's truly unique.

New Zealand and Scotland are pretty similar.

My family and me go to Italy once a year for the Sella Ronda. You get almost 1200km (750miles) of slopes and spectacular elevation and views. Maybe it's just me, but their parks aren't the best though. However I do still think it's the most beautiful place I have ever skied

oh good. where do u study in the usa?

Idk if you're looking for pow, but Livigno is great in the spring and has pretty good parks. Also would Mottolino is right on the other side of the valley so I would recommend skiing livigno in the morning (the sun hits there first) and when it starts getting too soft, go to Mottolino for the afternoon.

In NY, but it's a gap year (so nothing serious and not university related). I'm going back to university in Europe.

broccoliraabeoh good. where do u study in the usa?
