A perfect ski trip requires the right mix of adventure, comfort and fun. That&#8217;s why the current ranking takes into account all the aspects that make for a successful ski holiday in the mountains: the local snow conditions, the number of pistes and lifts, the prices for ski passes and overnight stays, as well as for lunch and the odd apr\u00e8s-ski beer. Together with the guest ratings and popularity on social media, this list provides a guide to finding the best ski resort &#8211; according to your own ideas and needs. Depending on your preference, you can either view the ranking as a whole or focus on individual categories.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"france-leads-the-ranking:-les-3-vall\u00e9es-is-the-favourite-for-the-20252026-ski-season\">France leads the ranking: Les 3 Vall\u00e9es is the favourite for the 2025\/2026 ski season<\/h2>\n<p>In the 2025\/26 ski season, the French mega ski resort <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/france\/val_thorens\/ski-region.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Les 3 Vall\u00e9es<\/a> is the undisputed favourite. The average visitor rating of 4.6 stars reflects the impressions of winter guests. What&#8217;s more, winter sports fans can explore a whole 600 kilometres of pistes here, so beginners and pros alike will not miss out. However, it is not just the size and variety that catapults Les 3 Vall\u00e9es into first place. With an average of almost eight metres of fresh snow per year, the ski resort is a true winter paradise. This combination of first-class pistes and fantastic ratings makes Les 3 Vall\u00e9es an unbeatable highlight in every ski season.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"Overall evaluation\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-efH1C\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/efH1C\/3\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"1241\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">window.addEventListener(\"message\",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}}});<\/script>\n<h2 id=\"visitor-favourites-apr\u00e8s-ski-&amp;-snow-safety:-the-highlights-at-a-glance\">Visitor favourites, apr\u00e8s-ski &amp; snow safety: The highlights at a glance<\/h2>\n<p>So the No. 1 in the SnowTrex ranking is a real dream for every skier! But what exactly makes a ski resort a top ski resort for winter sports enthusiasts? This is exactly what the following overview shows, as it offers both experienced skiers and beginners comprehensive insights and important data for planning an unforgettable skiing holiday.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"guaranteed-snow:-fun-in-the-snow-is-guaranteed-here\">Guaranteed snow: fun in the snow is guaranteed here<\/h2>\n<p>Climate change is a key challenge for winter sports and the livelihoods of people in the Alps. In the mountains today, this is unfortunately reflected in a lack of or less snowfall. For skiers in particular, who expect natural snow on the piste and snow-covered landscapes, snow reliability is therefore of great importance and depends primarily on the altitude. Historical snowfall data from recent years also provides a good indication of snow reliability in the current season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-47169 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"In the SnowTrex ranking, the Chamonix ski resort shines with its snow reliability.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"In the SnowTrex ranking, the Chamonix ski resort shines with its snow reliability.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-468x312.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-999x666.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2022\/04\/RS4472_shutterstock_177958217_bearbeitet-hsc.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"47169\">\u00a9 Magnus Kallstrom\/shutterstock.de<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">In the SnowTrex ranking, the Chamonix ski resort shines with its snow reliability.<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<p>In the latest SnowTrex ranking, the French <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/france\/chamonix\/ski-area.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ski resort of Chamonix<\/a> boasts the best combination of impressive snowfall and optimal altitude. Ski enthusiasts can expect an average of more than 10 metres of fresh snow per year.

The same applies to the almost 1,300 kilometres of pistes in the South Tyrolean ski areas, where as much as 90 percent of the slopes can be covered with artificial snow!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"les-3-vall\u00e9es-scores-with-its-large-lift-capacity\">Les 3 Vall\u00e9es scores with its large lift capacity<\/h2>\n<p>The actual time spent on the slopes is a key criterion for many people on a skiing holiday.

Especially for parents travelling with small children, long and frequent queues can quickly become a stress factor. An extensive range of ski lifts &#8211; whether T-bar lifts, chairlifts or gondola lifts &#8211; helps you get to your destination quickly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Infinite Skiing Experiences by Les 3 Vall&eacute;es\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_oBDG_oxB7aA\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FoBDG_oxB7aA%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oBDG_oxB7aA\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1M28S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2024-12-10T15:01:15Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_oBDG_oxB7aA\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FoBDG_oxB7aA%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Infinite Skiing Experiences by Les 3 Vall\u00e9es<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/oBDG_oxB7aA\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FoBDG_oxB7aA%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Infinite Skiing Experiences by Les 3 Vall&eacute;es\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Infinite Skiing Experiences vid\u00e9o r\u00e9alis\u00e9e par Les 3 Vall\u00e9es\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px auto;\"><br\/><span class=\"lyte_disclaimer\">Please also note that by using our services and integrating the YouTube API Services, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/t\/terms\">YouTube Terms of Service<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/youtube\/terms\/api-services-terms-of-service-emea\">YouTube API Services Terms<\/a> apply and your use of our website is deemed to be acceptance of these terms.<\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<p>With an incredible 284,833 people transported per hour, Les 3 Vall\u00e9es has the highest lift capacity in the SnowTrex ranking.

Of the total of 412 kilometres of pistes, a full quarter (103 km) are black pistes. The largest ski area in Switzerland also boasts a difference in altitude of 2,509 metres, ensuring adrenaline-fuelled fun in the snow. 4 Vall\u00e9es is therefore extremely popular with experts and freeriders. Long, tree-free descents with wonderfully deep powder snow invite you to put your skills to the test time and again. So it&#8217;s no wonder that the premier class of the freeride scene returns to the canton of Valais every year with the Freeride World Tour and that 4 Vall\u00e9es is among the top 10 in our ranking in this category.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"Category: Skiing\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-p3ub2\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/p3ub2\/3\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"1261\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">window.addEventListener(\"message\",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}}});<\/script>\n<h2 id=\"accommodation-ski-pass-catering:-berchtesgaden-impresses-with-the-best-value-for-money\">Accommodation, ski pass, catering: Berchtesgaden impresses with the best value for money<\/h2>\n<p>Ski holidays in the Alps don&#8217;t have to be expensive if winter sports enthusiasts factor in the key costs. These include accommodation, meals, the ski pass and apr\u00e8s-ski parties after a day&#8217;s skiing.

For a double room in a hotel including breakfast, the average price in Berchtesgaden is just under 1,120 euros per week. The ski pass for six days is also the most affordable here at 200 euros. It should also be noted that the ski resort on the Austrian border is one of the smallest in this ranking with 40 kilometres of pistes.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-59422 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"In Berchtesgaden, ski guests can not only let off steam on the slopes, but also enjoy favourable accommodation prices.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"In Berchtesgaden, ski guests can not only let off steam on the slopes, but also enjoy favourable accommodation prices.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-468x312.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-999x666.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2023\/11\/RS27407_014-BE-BGD-Winter-Rossfeld-FINAL-bearbeitet-PRINT-scr-1.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"59422\">\u00a9 Bergerlebnis Berchtesgaden<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">In Berchtesgaden, ski guests can not only let off steam on the slopes, but also enjoy favourable accommodation prices.<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<p>The Italian ski resort of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/italy\/sestriere_via_lattea\/ski-area.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Via Lattea<\/a> can be a real alternative for those who want to have a lot of skiing fun for little money.

However, the apr\u00e8s-ski (4.7 out of 5 possible stars) is no less lively there!<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"Category: Gastronomy\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-aa13Z\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/aa13Z\/3\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"1097\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">window.addEventListener(\"message\",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}}});<\/script>\n<h2 id=\"methodology\">Methodology<\/h2>\n<p>For the ranking, 50 popular ski resorts in the Alps were selected that have enjoyed a good reputation among winter sports enthusiasts for years. However, skiers and snowboarders don&#8217;t just appreciate the fantastic pistes here &#8211; after all, the perfect trip depends on the overall package of adventure, comfort and fun on and off the slopes. That&#8217;s why our selection of the best ski resorts takes into account a variety of factors in the categories &#8220;skiing&#8221;, &#8220;cost&#8221;, &#8220;catering&#8221; and &#8220;popularity&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In order to be able to compare the individual values of all the ski resorts surveyed, the results were standardised on a point scale from 0 to 100. The ski resort with the best or most favourable result in the respective factor received a score of 100, while the ski resort with the worst or most expensive result received a score of 0. All other ski resorts were measured against these extreme values for each factor and thus ranked. As the most important aspect in the evaluation of a ski resort is the skiing itself, the factors from the categories &#8220;cost&#8221;, &#8220;gastronomy&#8221; and &#8220;popularity&#8221; were only included in the calculation with 20 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>The data was collected between October and November 2025.<\/p>\n<h3>Skiing<\/h3>\n<p>The most important aspect when choosing a ski resort is the quality of the skiing experience itself. For this reason, this analysis placed particular emphasis on relevant factors such as snowfall, the total number of pistes and the total capacity of the lifts.<\/p>\n<h3>Snow reliability<\/h3>\n<p>Sufficient snow is the basis for a successful skiing holiday. Based on the highest point and historical data, a forecast for snow reliability can be made.<\/p>\n<p><b>Highest point:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The higher the altitude of the ski resort, the higher the probability that there will be enough snow in the main season. <em>Source: SnowTrex<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Snowfall in the valley resort: <\/b>Average annual snowfall, calculated from the available snowfall data for the last five seasons (20\/21, 21\/22, 22\/23, 23\/24, 24\/25). The figures refer to the respective valley resort in the vicinity of the ski area.<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> <em>Source: SnowTrex<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Capacity<\/h3>\n<p><b>Total number of lifts: <\/b>The more lifts available, the better guests can spread out on the individual slopes. This leads to more time on the slopes, an overall smoother skiing experience and makes skiing safer and more enjoyable. The figure refers to surface lifts, chairlifts and gondola lifts. Only the total number of lifts was included in the ranking.<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> <em>Source: SnowTrex<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Transport capacity per hour:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The more visitors can be transported per hour, the more relaxed the skiing experience. The figures refer to the official data of the individual ski resorts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Number of ski schools: <\/b>Whether you are a beginner or an advanced skier, a ski school helps you to develop and improve your skills.<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> <em>Source: Google Maps<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Ski slopes<\/h3>\n<p><b>Total kilometres of slopes <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: The more kilometres of slopes a ski resort has to offer, the more skiing fun and variety it guarantees. In addition, the pistes were rated according to their level of difficulty (blue and\/or green, red, black). This primarily helps beginners and advanced skiers to find the right ski area for them. Only the total number of kilometres of slopes was included in the ranking. <em>Source: SnowTrex<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Blue &amp; green pistes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: These types of pistes are particularly flat and correspondingly easy to ski, making them perfect for anyone who wants to gain their first experience on skis or a snowboard. Note: The distinction between green and blue slopes is only found in France. <em>Source: SnowTrex<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Red slopes: <\/b>Offer more incline and can feature different terrain and obstacles to make the skiing experience more interesting. <span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>Source: SnowTrex<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Black runs: <\/b>Often consist of steep slopes, narrow passages and challenging terrain, making them a challenge even for experienced winter sports enthusiasts.<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> <em>Source: SnowTrex<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Altitude difference:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The greater the altitude difference, the longer a descent can be and the more challenges and different types of terrain skiers can expect. <em>Source: SnowTrex<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Costs<\/h3>\n<p><b>Holiday flat: <\/b>A skiing holiday will be difficult without suitable accommodation on site. The prices listed here refer to a holiday flat within a radius of five kilometres for seven nights and two people. The data refers to the average price, recorded via <em>Booking.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hotel:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The average prices quoted here refer to a hotel with breakfast for two people within a five-kilometre radius of the ski resort during the high season (end of December to February). The survey was carried out by aggregating the average price via <em>Booking.com<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ski pass:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> No ski fun without a ski pass. The costs refer to a ski pass for 6 days in the high season; online and early booking discounts were not taken into account. If no main season price could be determined, the price for 6 days from 26\/12\/2024 was used. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>Source: the respective ski resort<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Beer price: <\/b>Nobody should suffer from thirst during apr\u00e8s-ski.
