If like me you enjoy skiing tree lined runs, be them steep or crusing. I thought it would be a good idea to draw on the vast experience of j2ski members and compile a list of the top six tree lined ski resorts in Europe. With my limited experience I would think that Sauze d'Oulx would make the list together with Serre Che which I am due to visit in March. What resort in your experience would make the top six? I will then hopefully be in a position to make the top six list.

Thanks
Alistair :-)

Meribel and la Tania has some great tree lined runs, and also Champousson / Morgin in switzerland has some very good tree lined routes... all though these are relatively small areas.

Thanks Crispyapplepie,
What % of the ski area is made up of tree lined runs? Perhaps I should have clarified the % area of at least 25% of the total ski area or more.
Would Meribel, la Tania, Champousson and Morgin have at least 25% of tree lined runs?

Schladming in Austria is great for tree-lined runs. I would say that approaching 80% of the runs are tree-lined. It's lovely. Skied there last February in fantastic conditions. The ski area extends over four big mountains and all four are similar - if you like trees, it's the place for you. The peaks are above the tree line, so there's a bit of variety. Sauze is OK for trees, but not in the same league as Schladming or many of the other lower lying Austrian resorts.
