When deciding which ski resort to visit for your upcoming ski holiday, you’ll want to make sure you visit a resort with plenty of snowfall for all your skiing and off-piste activities. Skiing before Christmas and in the late Spring can be risky as the snowfall is not as reliable as during the peak months. Your best bet is to choose a ski resort with high altitude and dependable snowfall.
We’ve assembled a list of the world’s top 10 snow-sure ski resorts that will guarantee you the perfect ski holiday if travelling outside of the peak times.
