Why this exists
Planning a ski trip means weighing up terrain, travel, weather and cost. We bring those details together so you can decide what matters for your trip.
Our most detailed coverage is Châtel and the Portes du Soleil. The wider resort directory helps you compare other Alpine destinations.
What we cover
You'll find 32 Alpine resort guides, monthly slope conditions, trip-planning advice and ski-clothing comparisons. Use the resort guides to narrow down where to go, then check the weather patterns and clothing specifications.
Editorial standards
We check resort facts against official tourism, lift-company and public-service sources. Our monthly weather figures use DWD ICON-DREAM-EU data for 2010-2025 at selected lower, middle and upper slope elevations. They're historical estimates, not a forecast for your trip.
Clothing specifications come from matching UK and US brand pages, with the brand's test method and any missing figures identified. We don't award review scores to products we haven't tested.
