Best Skiing in the Alps

Chamonix is good but they dont have a good park

Welp you got eight different countries to choose from: Monaco, France, Switzerland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria and Slovenia. Alps are huge, might want to be more specific with destination to get real help. (I don't know tits, good luck)

Monaco? I think this guy is a little silly in the brain

First off, I would absolutely recommend opting for march/april over april/may. In april and may, you'll only be skiing super slushy slopes (in most areas at least) and the all mountain terrain will see less fresh snow, and be less accessible due to the lack of snow.

In terms of destination, there are multiple really great ones - my recommendation is Innsbruck however. I spent last winter there, and the place is incredible. The parks in nearby Nordkette and Patscherkofel are small but well built and fun. Always plenty of people shredding the park. Also, there are plenty of other mountains and parks nearby. Just hop on a bus and explore 10+ other resorts. Axamer Lizum is another small resort 30 - 40 minutes away from the city center, with some sick all mountain terrain. Downdays has a cool core shots episode following Ben Richards in Axamer Lixum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWA3B6wesw4&t=671s.

In terms of a fun city, Innsbruck is superb. Sure... the aprés is better in Ischgl, but it is dominated by rich and tacky tourists. There are plenty of cool bars, restaurants and events in Innsbruck. Unlike most ski towns, Innsbruck is actually a city, with a lot going on outside of skiing.

These two videos will give you an impression about Nordkette and Patscherkofel - the resorts closest to the city center:

Agreed, only bummer is that the Tyrol snow pass which gets you access to all the skiresorts in Tyrol is only available as a season pass afaik. My personal is Zell am See and the nearby resorts (Kitzsteinhorn, Smittenhöhe and Saalbach). Dont

He’s not wrong. There are multiple ski resorts within a couple hours of Monaco. It’s actually a really common base for ski trips.

Jeeze, I got downvoted for being helpful and not trolling.

You’re not gonna find good skiing within 3 hours of Monaco. Plus Monaco is a cesspool full of corrupt people and sex trafficking

Pipe down big guy, not only does Monaco have 0 skiing, but you have to drive 2 hours for some mid at best skiing. This thread is titled “best skiing in the alps”, not “middest resort closet to some bunk ass micronation”

Pipe down little guy. I said a couple hours from
Monaco. That means 2. Which is what that resort is. And it’s rated one of the best.

Oh so you get to change the topic of the thread at will? What a gifted fellow

Most Alpine ski resorts close at the end of April so in May you will be restricted to a handful of glacier ski resorts - depending if that is your thing. Kaunertal is excellent in May - but it really is the summer skiing experience rather than spring skiing.

I find https://openskimap.org/ a great tool to see on a map where there are ski resorts and how close together they are.

The area around where Austria, Switzerland, and Italy meet is a great place to be. Laax, Livigno, Mayrhofen, Kaunertal have some of the best parks and matching atmosphere.

You will probably need to get the season pass at your base mountain and then take out extra day passes when you make an excursion.

Here are some season passes that give you a lot of access:

- Snow card tirol (Ischgl, Solden, Mayrhofen, Kaunertal, Innsbruck, etc. etc.)
- Graubunden Card (Laax, Ischgl, St. Moritz, Davos, Lenzerheide, Andermatt, etc.)

Appreciate the help, does the tirol snow card include unlimited days at each of the resorts? Doesn’t seem to clarify that on their website.

Super helpful, was it easy to bus/train to all the resorts from Innsbruck?
