Everyone has different ideas about the perfect ski holiday. Although, good snow conditions and a wide choice of ski holiday accommodation are often high on everyone’s list, other criteria can be very varied! Families prefer resorts with good ski schools, plenty of activities and good childcare options. Snowboarders will certainly prefer a ski resort that has a choice of snowparks but also, not too many drag lifts! Some ski fans are just looking for easy skiing and some really lively après-ski and nightlife. The Snowplaza team has put together some Top 5 lists you can access from our homepage to help you choose your perfect ski holiday destination…
The perfect family ski holiday destination is a ski resort that has enough facilities and activities on offer to keep the whole family happy and busy during their ski holiday. For the younger members of the family, this means, of course, sufficient, well-adapted facilities so that they feel right at home. Family-friendly ski accommodation with the necessary adapted equipment and quality childcare options for the youngest in the family mean that everyone will have a good ski holiday. Ski resorts where children have plenty of space and activities to keep them busy if weather conditions are not great, are not always easy to find, so our team have put together a list of family-friendly ski resorts where you can be sure that everyone will spend an unforgettable ski holiday. Click here to see our Top 5 family-friendly ski resorts.
For some ski and snowboard fans, the quantity and quality of the après-ski options in a ski resort are almost as important as the skiing or snowboarding. The number of happy hours and après-ski bars and nightclubs is their number one priority! If, for you, a ski holiday without good après-ski is like a ski holiday without good snow, then click here to find out where the après-ski hotspots are in the Alps.
Making the choice of ski resort for your first ski holiday can really make you love or hate skiing or snowboarding! When learning to ski or snowboard, you’re certainly not interested in the number of black runs, 8-seater, high speed chair lifts, or heli-skiing options! What’s most important and reassuring to you is the number of gentle blue slopes, dedicated beginner’s areas and easy drag lifts! Click here to see our selection great ski resorts for beginners!

Snowboarders and skiers often don’t get along that well up on the slopes! Snowboarders usually get the blame for leaving icy patches behind them on the slopes and for taking up too much space in the cable cars with their cumbersome equipment! But, now it is just a fact of life, we all have to share the slopes. However, there are some resorts which are better suited to snowboarders than others. A snowboarder doesn’t have the same needs and desires as a skier up on the slopes – they prefer wider, flatter slopes (but not too flat, of course) with not too many skinny roads and not too many drag lifts! In recent years snowboarding has become more and more popular with all ages – not just the younger crowd. Many adults decide to learn to snowboard rather than to ski or want to switch from skiing to snowboarding to try new sensations up on the slopes. Click here to see our Top 5 resorts for snowboarding in the Alps.
Click here to see all our current themes and watch this space, as in the months to come, we will be making further selections to add to our ski holiday themes such as the most charming ski resorts, resorts offering doorstep skiing, cheap ski resorts and resorts with short transfer times for those who just can’t wait to get up on the slopes.

Being lucky enough to have parents who were crazy about skiing, my love for the mountains started when I was 4 years old on our first family ski holiday to Austrian ski resort of Obergurl. One ski holiday a year was never enough and tears rolled down my face as I looked out the back window of the car on the drive down the valley on the way home!
