European Ski Resorts

Tom Robbins - European Ski Resorts - Independent, Expert Reviews at ProductSifter - We hunt down the best so you don't have to
Europe offers some of the most extensive, extreme and beautiful skiing anywhere in the world. Tom Robbins, powderhound and deputy travel editor of the Observer newspaper, picks five of the very best Click here for European Ski Resorts Overview.

Best Super-Resort ( Espace Killy, France)

European Ski Resorts - European Ski Resorts - Espace Killy - SmallThere are bigger ski playgrounds in Europe, but not with terrain as well linked, groomed or various as that of Espace Killy in France. Taking in the resorts of Val d'Isère and Tignes, you'll clock up more skiing time here in a week than anywhere else on the continent, whether you're a beginner or an expert.

Best for Powder (La Grave, France)

European Ski Resorts - European Ski Resorts - La Grave - SmallExperts only. There’s only one lift in La Grave, yet for freeride skiers the world over this is the place to name drop. Unspoilt by pistes or patrols of any sort, this vast and pristine valley offers 2,000 vertical metres of some of the most extreme and beautiful off-piste skiing on the planet. You'll cry when you see it.

Best Off the Beaten Track (Galtur, Austria)

European Ski Resorts - European Ski Resorts - Galtur - SmallSkiing like it used to be - the very opposite of Tignes. When nearby resorts - such as Ischgl and St Anton - are packed, the slopes of Galtur remain a powder-filled oasis of calm.

Best for Real Men (St Anton, Austria)

European Ski Resorts - European Ski Resorts - St Anton - SmallSt Anton combines some of the most extensive and extreme skiing in the Alps with some of the most extreme après-ski drinking. The resort also boasts great food, service and charm. If you want to burn the candle at both ends, this is the place ... if you're hard enough.
