In November 2024, travel booking website Omio shared its findings after researching and ranking more than 6,000 ski resorts around the globe. It ranked these resorts based on 11 factors, including the cost of an adult, youth, and child ticket, customer ratings, whether there was access to a ski school, the distance of each trail, and the number of events at the resort during the season.
Skiing is both a beloved pastime and a lifestyle throughout Europe, which means choosing a destination for a transatlantic ski trip can be a dizzying experience. While ski resorts can be found all over the continent, France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, and Norway are particularly renowned for their ski-friendly climates, terrain, and infrastructure. Villages like St. Moritz and Cortina d'Ampezzo have welcomed snow-seeking travelers for years.
