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, information on train, coach and airline operators, useful information on airport connections, and detailed public transport directions and resort data for a selection of destinations, 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 winters sports without the usual Brits-abroad, package-holiday vibe, these destinations are for you.

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.
