Are you looking for the perfect ski resort for beginners? Crystal Ski has you covered!
There are many ski resorts that are recognised for their highly rated, English-speaking ski schools, their great range of gentle slopes and their fantastic indoor facilities.
Whether you choose to visit Italy, France or Austria, there are wonderful ski resorts to suit every level.
To help you decide on what might be your first visit to a ski resort, Crystal Ski has listed their top resorts for beginners.
Passo Tonale, Italy
High in the Italian Alps, Passo Tonale has got plenty of quiet, easy runs that are accessed by chairlifts near the hotels. The Presena Glacier also has a beginner run and an intermediate run, so you might even get to try glacier skiing. Nearby, the village of Ponte di Legno has lots of pretty tree-lined runs, which new skiers sometimes prefer – the visibility is better and each run has a clear boundary, rather than being open to the elements.
- Depart 2nd February 2019, stay at 3* Hotel Adamello, Passo Tonale, on a half-board basis, for 7 nights, from €749pp.
Alpe d’huez, France
Alpe d’Huez is known as the sunniest resort in the Alps, which means great conditions and better visibility – all ideal for your first few days on skis. Its huge beginner area is right next to the village and there is a good range of blue runs to help you progress. Reward yourself for your efforts with drinks and dancing at the piste-side La Folie Douce.
- Depart 2nd February 2019, stay at the 3* Hotel Petit Prince, Alpe d’Huez, on a half-board basis, for 7 nights, from €879pp (based on 4 sharing)
Zell am See, Austria
Not only is Zell am See a great playground for beginners, but it’s also super pretty. Hop on the CityXpress gondola and in minutes you will find plenty of wide and scenic runs through the trees, with stunning views over the lake below. It is unusual to have so much in a ski resort. There is plenty to explore when you are not on the slopes. Take a break from the slopes and visit the cosmopolitan village with a medieval centre and some fabulous shops.
- Depart the 9th February 2019, stay at the 3* Haus Edelweiss, Zell am See, on a b&b basis, for 7 nights, from €665pp (based on 4 sharing)
