Maps of the Alps for Independent Travellers

From Lyon to Lubljana and Milan to Munich, the European alpine region is home to a wide variety of resorts. Popular both with summer visitors and winter sports enthusiasts they range from classic names to lesser-known jewels which attract few visitors beyond the local region. Our useful maps pinpoint a whopping 640 of them and show just how easy it is for independent travellers to get there, whether by rail, air or road. All our maps are also available as wall maps and can additionally be printed at any size and onto a variety of media and customised with text or photographs to make a unique gift or simply a wonderful memory of your travels.

Getting around in your own style and at your own pace. Where the journey there is all part of the fun. With our maps pinpointing the locations of 640 ski resorts across Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland and showing mainline rail links, mountain railways, ferries across the Alpine lakes, winter road closures, airports and linked ski areas, we set out to help you plan your independent alpine holiday.

Our little-known resorts will also appeal to the more adventurous mountain sports enthusiast. These include the beautiful, yet frequently overlooked slopes just a short, spectacular mountain railway trip above Lake Geneva, or a tram ride away from the medieval charm of Innsbruck's city centre. The ski areas may be smaller with fewer lifts but the scenery is just as breathtaking, and the slopes invariably much quieter, with cheaper lift passes, ski hire and accommodation than in the better known, glitzier resorts. If you want to experience winter sports without the usual Brits-abroad, package-holiday vibe, these destinations are for you.

bergeralm, austria - a little-known resort with a twist

Here at 2TA we love a slightly unusual resort, especially if it can be reached by train, both of which qualities apply to the little-known obscurity that is Bergeralm, located in the Austrian Alps about 20km south of Innsbruck. Although there are several resorts closer to the city, Bergeralm is unique in featuring a particularly unusual stretch of piste which we captured on video on our recent break...

NEW FOR 2020 - OUR RAIL MAP OF THE ALPS

This November sees the launch of our latest winter-sports themed map. ‘The Alps - Skiing by Train’ charts the position of 200 resorts in seven countries across the Alps from France to Slovenia (via Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein and Italy) to help intrepid skiers and snowboarders plan their low-carbon journey to the mountains. Like the London Underground Map the map is drawn in schematic style and includes lots of useful planning information. Available as a folded map, single sided print or large A2 print.

The Alps are one of the largest and highest mountain ranges in the world.

Some 680 miles long and up to 140 miles wide and covering an area of some 80,000 sq miles, they take in eight countries in their path.

Although a distinctive region in its own right, each country has its own feel. Check out our country pages for more information.
