SKI RESORTS: AN ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF THE WORLD’S SKI RESORTS
If you're planning a ski holiday, it's likely that you already have somewhere in mind. But what if you've never been there before, relying instead on the recommendations of others? How can you know for sure that this resort will meet your specific requirement?
Fear not: we've got you covered. In each of our ski resort guides, you’ll find a whole guidebook of useful information about your favourite resort. Every resort we cover typically comes in a series of six: first, the all-important overview, with supplementary guides on where to eat, stay, learn, party, and a guide to the skiing itself.
Of course, you might have no idea where to begin. If that's the case, a thematic approach to your research might be more helpful. In our where to ski advice section, you'll find advice that recommends ski resorts based on different priorities, such as resorts that represent value for money or the best resorts for beginners.
