The Best Ski Destinations For Advanced Skiers
Looking for runs to test your skills? Our resorts offer advanced skiers plenty to tackle from steep reds to challenging blacks, with huge connected ski areas and high-altitude slopes ready to be conquered.
France is the best for advanced skiers, and Val Thorens is a cracking place to start. As Europe's highest ski resort, Val Thorens puts you at serious altitude with access to the Three Valleys ski area. Spend your days clocking up the miles across steep reds and challenging blacks with a huge amount of connected terrain.
Les Arcs is another favourite for confident skiers who like plenty of variety. Part of the massive Paradiski area, it has fast groomed pistes with steep descents and accessible terrain. For a proper leg burner, head up the famous Aiguille Rouge where you can take on a descent of more than 2,000 vertical metres.
Val d'Isère has earned its reputation as one of the Alps' best destinations for advanced skiing. Its high-altitude terrain is packed with technical challenges and the best lift-accessed off-piste opportunities, giving you plenty of chances to push yourself and explore beyond the easier runs.
Austria has plenty to offer advanced skiers too. Kaprun gives you access to the Kitzsteinhorn glacier, mixing high-altitude snow with demanding pistes and wide freeride areas. It's a brilliant choice when you want challenging skiing, glacier scenery and that classic Austrian mountain atmosphere waiting when the skis come off.

Advanced Ski Holidays FAQs
What's included in the advanced ski holidays?
Return flights with baggage, return airport transfers, your chosen accommodation and a resort manager to look after you while you're away. Lift passes, ski hire and lessons can be added on at the resort rates we've arranged directly.
How do I choose the best advanced ski holidays?
France is hard to beat, with Val Thorens, Les Arcs and Val d'Isère offering steep reds, challenging blacks and huge high-altitude ski areas. Kaprun in Austria is another cracking choice, with demanding pistes and freeride terrain on the Kitzsteinhorn glacier.
If you're looking for advanced ski holidays, you need to make sure to look out for red and black ski runs.
What is the difference between intermediate and advanced skiing?
Intermediate skiers are more comfortable on the blue slopes and challenge themselves sometimes with reds but struggle with steep terrain. Advanced skiers can tackle black runs and off-piste confidently but may not always ski on advanced slopes.
