5 Hidden
Ski Resorts for Adventurous Travelers
Joshua
Garven
There are some places on this Earth that
receive most travelers at a specific period of the year and they are associated
with specific seasons. For example, Portugal and the
Greek
Islands are for summer, Rovaniemi to visit Santa at Christmas, and the
French or Swiss Alps for ski season. Today, we'll focus on the winter months of
the year and explore some ski resorts for adventurous travelers that fly under
the radar. These hidden gems are charming places with quality ski services and
amenities that you'll want to keep secret for you and your loved ones.
1. Montgenèvre, France
While it's known among ski aficionados, the
ski resort in Montgenèvre doesn't receive the attention and love it deserves.
It’s located in the Southern French Alps near the Italian border. With gentle
slopes and challenging off-piste runs, it's a brilliant destination for skiers
of all levels. Travelers can book affordable ski passes to explore the
outstanding Milky Way ski area through
Erna Low, promising unforgettable alpine scenery and adventures. The sunny
weather, the serene village atmosphere, and the effortless cross to Italy make
Montgenèvre an excellent choice for a place with a plethora of opportunities for
fun.
2. Gudauri, Georgia
Venturing into Eastern Europe, we truly
enter the realm of hidden ski resorts for adventurous travelers. Gudauri is a
stunning ski resort in Georgia, and more specifically in the Caucasus Mountains.
What sets Gudauri apart is its untouched powder fields and breathtaking views of
the surrounding valleys, offering a sense of serenity rarely found in more
popular ski destinations. For the adventurous traveler, the combination of
endless pristine slopes and unparalleled off-piste opportunities makes Gudauri a
destination worth visiting and exploring.
3. Karakol Ski Resort,
Kyrgyzstan
Nestled in the rugged mountains of the Tien
Shan range, the Karakol ski resort offers some of the world's best backcountry
skiing. From untouched powder fields to steep couloirs and gladded forests,
Karakol has something to offer to skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels.
After spending hours on the slopes, travelers can immerse themselves in the
rich culture of Kyrgyzstan, sampling traditional cuisine and exploring ancient
Silk Road cities.
4. Portillo, Chile
Let’s see the hidden ski resorts for
adventurous travelers in South America as well. Portillo is a ski resort in
Chile beloved by adventurers and powder hounds alike. Uncrowded slopes and
untouched powder await those who dare to venture off the beaten path. With
terrain ranging from gentle slopes to steep couloirs, skiers and snowboarders of
all abilities can enjoy many opportunities for memorable experiences.
5. Las Leñas, Argentina
Another option in South America is the ski
resort Las Leñas in Argentina. There you’ll find some of the most challenging
terrain in South America, with steep chutes, deep powder, and rugged backcountry
waiting to be explored. Unlike its more popular counterparts, Las Leñas offers a
sense of solitude and serenity, with uncrowded slopes and breathtaking views of
the surrounding peaks.
