For those of you who have a skiing bug and haven’t yet booked any ski trips this season, here are the 5 best ski resorts in the world to visit.
Whistler-Blackcomb, Canada
Whistler Blackcomb is one of the most famous ski resorts in the world. Located less than 80 miles north of Vancover, this resort was originally converted for the 1968 Winter Olympics bid and has been open for nearly 50 years. The towering heights of the mountains make up the largest ski area in North America, which means miles and miles of beautiful ski slopes to enjoy.
Kitzbuhel, Austria
Kitzbuhel is another world famous resort, it is home to one of the toughest World Cup ski slopes on the calendar, the Hahnenkamm. The resort is known as the ‘Pearl of the Alps’ and is over 700 years old (although skiing started here in 1892). If you’re looking for a charming alpine resort that’s great for skiing, then Kitzbuhel is perfect.
Chamonix, France
This is one of the best luxury resorts in the Alps, offering a lot to visitors in terms of skiing and the ski resort itself. Situated on the highest peak in the Alps, Mont-Blanc has its advantages. It has one of the longest ski slopes in the world with 22 kilometers long and is also considered the capital of mountain skiing. The complex has the honor of being the first to host the Winter Olympics in 1924.
Zermatt, Switzerland
This is one of the best ski resorts that Switzerland has to offer, not only for skiing but also for mountaineering. Zermatt is well known for its famous mountaineering routes, including the Haute Route that leads to Chamonix in France. It’s not all about mountaineering though, the resort has ski slopes for everyone with snow-safe ski slopes from November through April.
aspen, usa
One of the best America has to offer. Located in Colorado, this resort draws skiers and snowboarders alike to its stunning ski areas. There are 4 different ski areas around the resort offering skiing for all experience levels, including a low altitude family ski area known as Buttermilk. The ski resort itself is easy to get to, with a convenient airport just outside of town, meaning more time to ski and less time to travel.
Ski season is an exciting time of year and all skiers and snowboarders want to do is make the most of it by hitting the slopes as long as possible. Minimizing travel is one of the best ways to make the most of your ski vacation, and private jets can help you do just that. You can arrange private jet flights that take you to smaller airfields closer to your destination, so your transfer times are dramatically reduced, allowing you to spend more valuable time on the tarmac.
