Good Ski Guide The Worlds Most Loved Ski Guide

Ste Foy is a rarity in France - idyllically small with traditional architecture and hardly any crowds.

Montgenèvre is part of the massive 650km Italian border - straddling Via Lattea (Milky Way) ski area. But Montgenèvre, already praised by the Good Ski Guide as the perfect Ski Easy resort, is well worth a visit in its own right.

With its expensive chalet-style architecture, boutique shopping and picturesque snow-covered streets, Megeve is resplendent in an alpine charm that many a purpose built resort will aspire [and fail] to emulate.

If the fur-coat-and-Ferrari glitz of Megève is not your scene then drive a few more miles to find rural French perfection in tiny Les Contamines.

Mountain lovers and extreme skiers flock to Chamonix, the Alps’ most famous mountain town, at the foot of Mont Blanc.

Whistler is unstoppable. The twin peaks of Whistler and Blackcomb are enormous, but the experience keeps getting bigger and better.

North America's most beautiful scenery and awesome backdrops (including the Victoria Glacier and the frozen Lake Louise itself).

Bad Kleinkircheim nestles in the midst of the Turracher mountain range and is a perfect ski resort, though it is best-known for its spas, and curative natural waters.

Stubai is the perfect Ski Easy valley – just 40 minutes from Innsbruck airport.

For decades, British visitors who know their snow have made a private pilgrimage to the small, but select, resorts of the Alpbach valley and its neighbour, Wildschönau.
