Europe is not just home to headlining-grabbing ski playgrounds such as Chamonix-Mont-Blanc – it’s also home to off-the-radar areas such as Spain’s remote Val d’Aran, a high-altitude skiers’ paradise famous for its steep valleys and jagged couloirs, and France’s often-overlooked Pyrenees region, where ski trails weave between ancient farming villages.
As a former snowboard instructor who has tackled slopes across Europe – including in Sweden, Norway and some seriously remote ski areas in France, Italy and Switzerland – I can guarantee that the most accessible and popular ski areas are not always the best.
Travelers heading to resorts further afield will reap huge rewards, whether that means crowd-free trails or shorter lift lines and cheaper lift passes. Here are the remote resorts worth going out of your way for in Europe.
