Comprehensive Review of European Ski Resorts: Part Two
Following the previous article, here are the other ski resorts I've visited, ranked by my preference.
#Verbier:
A delightful town with great food, shopping, and activities. However, skiing to other valleys requires navigating through a wild snow area filled with moguls.
Snow conditions: 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨, Altitude: 🌟🌟🌟🌟, Infrastructure: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, Town food and accommodation: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, Mountain-top dining: 🌟🌟🌟🌟.
#Niseko:
After skiing in Europe, the powder snow in Hokkaido is a refreshing change, offering an incredibly smooth experience, though it can be quite crowded.
Snow conditions: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, Altitude: 🌟🌟, Infrastructure: 🌟🌟🌟, Town food and accommodation: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, Mountain-top dining: 🌟🌟🌟🌟.
#LaClusaz:
Another French ski resort, just an hour from Geneva. Parking can be a hassle, and the parking lot is a bit of a walk from the lift.
Snow conditions: 🌟🌟🌟✨, Altitude: 🌟🌟🌟✨, Infrastructure: 🌟🌟🌟✨, Town food and accommodation: 🌟🌟🌟🌟, Mountain-top dining: 🌟🌟🌟🌟.
#Chamonix and #Megeve:
These French resorts are easily accessible and known for their excellent food and drink. Both towns are great for strolling and are recommended for summer visits. Winter snow conditions can be unpredictable.

#Engelberg #Titlis:
Worth a visit for its extensive slopes and cool 360-degree rotating cable car. However, the food options in the German-speaking regions, except for Zermatt, are quite limited.
Snow conditions: 🌟🌟🌟✨, Altitude: 🌟🌟🌟🌟, Infrastructure: 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨, Town food and hotels: 🌟, Mountain-top dining: 🌟.
#Grindelwald:
The Jungfrau region has disappointing altitude and snow conditions. Its central location in the German-speaking area means it's often crowded, and hotels are a bit of a walk from the cable car. Overall, it's an average experience, but the town is worth visiting in summer for its scenic hotels.
Snow conditions: 🌟🌟, Altitude: 🌟🌟✨, Infrastructure: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, Town food and hotels: 🌟🌟🌟🌟, Mountain-top dining: 🌟.
#Villars #Diablerets:
A beginner-friendly resort in the French-speaking region, popular with Lausanne locals. However, it's not easily accessible, and the mountain roads are challenging.
Snow conditions: 🌟🌟, Altitude: 🌟🌟✨, Infrastructure: 🌟🌟🌟🌟, Town food and hotels: 🌟🌟🌟🌟, with a recommendation for Viu Hotel for its spacious rooms and Chinese tea.
Mountain-top dining: 🌟.
