All of the resorts can be skied on one pass and there are also several hot spring resorts (referred to as onsen) in the region as well.
3. Serre Chevalier, France
A more affordable French skiing resort Serre Chevalier has more of the charm of a French village with family run hotels than a large ski resort. Serre Chevalier has a higher treeline than most ski resorts which makes for more exciting treeline runs!
4. Alpbach, Austria
A small picturesque village in Western Austria, Alpbach is an ideal place to get away from it all and a great place to start. It isn’t a large resort but for what it lacks in size it makes up for it in charm. It is also dotted with slopes of all varieties but the most extreme. The trip and village are affordable as well.
5. Arapahoe Basin, Colorado
If you want to go skiing but are not sure if you can go during the regular ski season then Arapahoe basin is an ideal destination. It stays open until about June whereas other ski locations tend to close in early April. Arapahoe is more of a location for expert skiers but it does have some beginner runs and children’s programs.
