This beautiful region is framed by the majestic Julian Alps in the north-west of Slovenia and is one of the most picturesque and unspoilt skiing regions.

Read our Full Review of Bansko

Bansko is a traditional Bulgarian town that has been developed into a superb ski area. Located at the foot of the Pirin mountain this resort offers alpine quality at Bulgarian prices. Bansko offers a mixture of old world charm, modern hotels, breathtaking views and probably the best apres-ski in Bulgaria.

Tignes, France 

Read our Full Review of Tignes

Situated next door to the world-renowned Val d'Isere, Tignes does at first sight appear to be a poorer and less atrtactive neighbour. Purpose-built in the 1960's/70's it is a mix of high rise apartment blocks, some hotels and a few traditional chalets. But it is worth looking again as it offers modern, quick and reliable lifts, great snow and an impressive mix of conventional runs and spine tingling off piste. It's also a LOT cheaper.

Arinsal, Andorra

Arinsal is a beautiful village in Andorra offering excellent skiing and snowboarding for beginners as well as a good selection of runs for intermediates.

Pas de la Casa, Andorra 

Read our Full Review of Pas de la Casa

Situated on the border between Andorra and France Pas de la Cassa has more of a French atmosphere than other Andorran resorts. It is a purpose built resort and as such the town itself is not renowned for its beauty. It is however the undisputed party capital of Andorra and is fantastic for rowdy groups and those wanting a classic ski and booze holiday.
