Hi Gaccy,

I am lucky to have skied in Whistler. The views, particularly towards a lake are very nice.
However as the mountains are lower than Alps or Dolomites, IMHO scenery is not quite as beautiful or dramatic.

Gaz C wrote:The Dolomites!
From an aesthetics point of view, nowhere else I have been comes close. Gonna get a bit controversial here, but compared to the Dollies, the rest are 'just' mountains.

Hi Gaz C,

Thank you for your vote :thumbup:
Would you be able to pick a resort or two within Dolomites as your favourite for views?
i think it is a bit unfair on other ski areas as Dolomites are so vast and encompass so many resorts?

Hope to hear from you:)

What does it for me are the high level views - vistas across to the horizon of white.....
Majestic peaks in the distance....
That sort of thing.

What doesn't do it for me is brownerie - that's greenerie before the grass grows :mrgreen:

I don't really find resorts with a bit of snow above miles and miles of snow free lowlands scenic, no matter how chocolate boxie the buildings are.

Summer in the mountains is different, however!

I cant agree with this more. This is one of the things that puts me off low lying resorts as i just love being up above the clouds. IMHO there is nothing worse than a thin strip of white running through green/brownerie.

OldAndy and Snapzzz,


We too like white mountains in a winter!
However every now and then we come across awe inspiring views.
Be it a deep steep valley below ski line or high craggy peaks bathing in the sun that make particular area extra special.

For this reasons as much as we enjoyed skiing 3 Valleys we found views around Zermatt/Cervinia and Verbier that extra special.

And we have not been yet to Jungfrau Region or Dolomites that are reportedly the most scenic.
It might change this season though:)

Thank you :thumbup: for your votes/comments.

I promise to update the list!

Hello to all,

After our last ski trip to 3 Valleys in March we realise that it might not be possible to find another ski area with such a variety of runs and efficient lift system.

However as we do appreciate the scenery while skiing we hope to find resorts with prettier views.

So far our favourite in this respect is Zermatt/Cervinia with beautiful views of Matterhorn, Monte Rosa and glaciers.

Would you please share your experience from the most scenic resort/skiing area you visited?

Thank you for your participation:)
