Cortina, Italy
Cortina d'Ampezzo, nestled in the shadow of the Dolomites, is perhaps one of the most beautiful hidden spots in the world. Cortina, where you can ski with incredible views, is also a place where shoppers, especially antiques and jewelry lovers, can feel happy. Watching snow polo while sipping a drink, or shopping on Corso Italia with the local Italians in the evenings is priceless. A dream winter destination with gourmet restaurants and chic boutiques, Cortina is mainly a ski resort with easy to intermediate slopes.

Eagle Point Resort, Utah, USA
What could be more luxurious than skiing in your own mountains covered with meters of powder snow every winter? Eagle Point in Utah, USA, is a ski resort with 5 lifts and 40 slopes of varying difficulty, open for private use between Tuesday and Thursday. You can take 20 or 200 friends with you and have all kinds of entertainment besides skiing in this center, which is only for you and your friends, and if you want, you can even escape to Las Vegas, the city of lights, with a 20-minute helicopter flight.
Lech-Zürs, Austria
These two small towns, which are always mentioned together, are located in the Arlberg region of Austria. With more than a hundred five- and four-star hotels, they offer great skiing in incredible landscapes. Thanks to the newly completed Flexenbahn lift, Lech and Zürs are now Austria's largest ski resort with 305 km of pistes. The 22.5 km Weisse Rausch route is particularly popular with intermediate skiers. It also includes some of the best off-piste routes in the region.

Megève, France
If your dream is a place that is far away from the unseen, elegant and gusto, where you can taste the best food in the world, with ski slopes for all levels and only 75 minutes from the airport; Megeve is a ski town that will fulfill your dreams. Close to the borders of Italy, Switzerland and France, Megeve is much more than a ski town with a history of more than 100 years.
Mont d'Arbois, Rochebrune and La Jailet are the three main ski areas connected by a total of 81 lifts and offer a wide range of alternatives for skiers of all levels. The restaurants on the streets dating back to the 13th century have earned the charming town the title of having the most Michelin stars of any ski resort. Megeve is mostly for middle-aged and older people. Trips on horse-drawn or dog-drawn sleds, spa treatments with special creams made with herbs grown in the Alps, extensive shopping, upscale cafes and nightclubs make it popular beyond skiing.

Beaver Creek, Colorado, USA
Offering a little more than simplicity is Beaver Creek's motto. Beaver Creek was designed as a ski village in the 80s, offering skiers of all levels a variety of alternatives with its pistes equipped with freshly fallen snow and always challenging off-piste descents. With its heated sidewalks and walking paths, it aims to keep its guests away from the adverse winter conditions, but it also promises a very active and fun holiday outside of skiing.
