FAQs about skiing in Europe
Helpful information for planning your next trip
What are the best family ski destinations in Europe?
When planning a family ski vacation, there are several competing demands you want to balance. Easy access to good skiing for all levels is important: Mom and Dad may be expert skiers, but the kids will likely want to start off on more approachable bunny slopes. It’s also desirable to have sights and entertainment nearby for those days when you want to take it easy. And finally, it doesn't hurt if it doesn’t break the bank! Many travellers with families find the Dolomites in Northern Italy to be a great option for family skiing, with easy access via Verona and Milan. Likewise, the sheer variety of skiing options in Austria (easily accessible via Salzburg and Innsbruck) makes it a popular family skiing destination.
Where can I find the best beginner skiing in Europe?
The Dolomites in Northern Italy come highly recommended for beginning skiers, with the resorts at both Cortina and Cervinia having a diverse offering of approachable slopes and ski schools. Many ski slopes in France are also popular among beginners. Avoriaz comes recommended given its proximity to Geneva, but beginners may want to consider the slopes at Les Arcs, La Plagne, and Alpe d’Huez as well.
How late does the ski season last in Europe?
In general, most ski resorts throughout Europe begin opening by the end of November and close by the end of April. It will of course depend on local conditions, and some resorts may close earlier or later. Nevertheless, there is often good skiing to be had well into March and April at many popular ski destinations.
Which airports have the best skiing access?
If you’re looking to hit the slopes running, then you may want to plan your ski trip around which airports open up the best ski destinations for you. Nestled in the Swiss Alps, Zurich Airport (ZRH) provides countless skiing possibilities within a two- to three-hour drive. Those interested in exploring the German alps will likely find Munich (MUC) the most convenient option, with good train connections throughout the region. Finally, for those skiers eager to explore the Italian Alps and the Dolomites, Milan (MXP) serves as a gateway to numerous resorts and ski towns.
