If you can\u2019t be bothered chopping and changing between lift systems \u2013 and you\u2019d be forgiven for this, as the network is not the most seamless \u2013 then take heart from the fact that high altitude means a variety of long runs.

Experts are in for a treat though \u2013 after all, what do you expect from the resort that hosted the first ever Winter Olympics? You get a long season here, too, thanks to the surrounding glaciers and sheer altitude \u2013 added to which, there\u2019s no escaping the quality of the apr\u00e8s and the postcard good looks of the village.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15989\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/11\/CHAMONIX-FRANCE.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"500\"><\/p>\n<h2>CORTINA D\u2019AMPEZZO, ITALY<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s still a jetset air around this resort, but in truth, it caters for a wide variety of people and skiers, with about half of the terrain suitable for those at an intermediate level and some decently welcoming slopes for beginners, too. Having said that, there are high-altitude steeps and fields to delight the experts and you get a lot of Dolomite for your buck: the Dolomiti Superski Pass grants access to the lifts and pistes of a dozen resorts in the vicinity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15990\" src=\"https:\/\/dyj7luh3166cu.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/11\/CORTINA-D%E2%80%99AMPEZZO-ITALY.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"500\"><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>ZUGSPITZE, GERMANY<\/h2>\n<p>Germany often takes a skiing backseat to its European counterparts, but at 2,962m, this is Germany\u2019s highest mountain and rightly popular with those in the know. A new cable car accesses its summit, from which you can ski the glacier, but even lower-grade skiers will experience plenty of choice as they explore the 40 kilometers of trails comprised by the Garmisch-Classic ski area.

Off-piste terrain is abundant and seductive, but be aware that you may only explore it with a guide \u2013 while for those simply wanting to enjoy the view, there\u2019s the Funivie Monte Bianco cable car, which you can ride all the way to the top of the world (well, nearly) for incredible views over the surrounding mountains.
