It’s coming to the time of year when we might be thinking about getting our winter holiday booked, and if it’s the adrenaline buzz of throwing yourself down a mountain attached to a snowboard, we could have some great holiday suggestions for you! Read on to discover our 5 favourite resorts for Snowboarding fun!

Meribel

Meribel, based in the 3 valleys in the French Alps, Meribel is sure to be a firm favourite with lots of snow boarders. Meribel is suitable for the whole family, with plenty of green runs available for little ones, right up to some good black runs for those who like a challenge. There are plenty of great shops for groceries and souvenirs, and some excellent restaurants, both at the base of the mountain and spread about the runs. There is a great bus service that runs through Meribel and the surrounding areas, so if you’re looking to save a bit of money, don’t be afraid to stay outside of the main resort as there will always be a bus!

Tignes

Tignes is another great resort nestled in the French Alps which is buzzy and fun, with plenty of variety when it comes to the runs. The snow levels in Tignes are nearly always good and the resort boasts some excellent accommodation right by the main lift. There are some great nightclubs for those with partying in mind but also plenty of ways to relax, including a public swimming pool, and wellness centre at Le Lagon where you can enjoy a jacuzzi, massage and spa treatments.

Zermatt

Zermatt is Switzerland’s highest ski and board resort and boasts excellent snow all year round. Thanks to its altitude, Zermatt boasts some truly spectacular views from both the lifts and whilst on the mountain, and is therefore perfect for those who like to absorb their surroundings as well as enjoy some great boarding. With some very challenging runs Zermatt is sure to be a hit with experienced boarders, but it has plenty for the less practised too. The food in the resort is fantastic with plenty of variety and with some really friendly locals, Zermatt will be a place you want to go again and again.

Morzine

This charming village nestled in a valley on the France/Switzerland border offers plenty of choice when it comes to runs and has an excellent network of lifts to get you exactly where you need to be. With an abundance of blue and red runs, it’s ideal for all levels and is particularly popular with families and groups of friends. There are some excellent bars and restaurants in Morzine and plenty to do, however it has kept its quirky farming roots and local produce can be bought at the market for those who prefer the more traditional holiday experience.

Bansko

A hidden gem to be found in southwest Bulgaria, Bankso offers luxury accommodation at a wonderfully affordable rate, making it the perfect choice for large families or those who are travelling on a budget who don’t wish to compromise. Bansko has something to offer everyone, with plenty of ideal beginner runs but some more challenging reds for the more experienced. There are an outstanding number of bars, restaurants and traditional Bulgarian taverns to choose from when it comes to eating and après ski. An extreme fun park for snowboarders offers even more variety and makes Bansko the perfect all round boarding resort.
