How to choose the perfect ski resort?

Choosing the right ski resort is crucial for an enjoyable skiing holidays, but it can be tricky. There are several factors to consider: location, ski area size, cost of ski passes, accommodation, food, apres-ski activities, ski lessons, ski equipment rentals, climate, and snow conditions.

For most winter sports enthusiasts, the size of a ski area plays an important role in choosing their holiday destination.

The size of a ski area is mainly determined by the total length of runs (km). The more kilometers of ski runs, the more varied runs with different difficulty levels, perfect for intermediate and advanced skiers.
Ski areas not only expand in terms of width but also in terms of elevation. The greater the altitude difference (m), the longer ski runs, giving you a more alpine experience. The altitude difference between the highest and lowest points in the resort can range from 100 to even 2000 m.
