- Courchevel, France

- Sundance Mountain, Sundance, USA
A unique ski resort and the best in the country, located in Utah at the foot of Mount Timpanogos. It’s geared towards experienced skiers and snowboarders, with only 20% of the slopes suitable for beginners, but given the overall size of the resort, that’s still quite a lot. The highest point of the resort is at 2,515 meters, where you’ll also find a restaurant with an observation deck.
- Bansko, Bulgaria

All these resorts share common features: ski slopes, ski passes, and lifts. The only differences lie in the height of the mountains, the length of the slopes, and the cost.
