What is the Biggest or Best Ski Area in The World?

There’s an ongoing competition to claim top spot as the world’s biggest ski area. At the peak is France’s totally lift-connected Les Trois Vallées including the well-known resorts of Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens, and Brides-les-Bains. Even larger, but requiring some hops by bus, is Italy’s Dolomiti Superski region. New to the fray this year, is Kitzbühel.

Any of these areas is vast compared with even the largest North American resort and simply impossible to fully explore in a typical visit.

This was attributed to the heat, humidity, and low emissions in their working environment that was later converted to a medically-supervised cure treatment. Now, skiers can sample the same experience as an alternative to the outdoor pools fed with naturally hot water from the thermal springs.
