Best ski resorts with a glacier
Resorts with year-round or autumn-opening glacier skiing, where the snow keeps coming when the rest of the Alps run out.
12 resorts
How we picked
When a glacier is part of the ski area, the season runs longer, the snow is more reliable and you can usually find a few runs whatever the weather. From the famously 365-days-a-year Hintertux to Tignes, Saas-Fee, Les Deux Alpes, Kitzsteinhorn and the Stubai, these are the resorts where high-altitude ice does the heavy lifting.
