The Alps and Pyrenees resorts most likely to deliver real snow, picked by our 0 to 100 snow score and high-altitude pedigree.

How we picked
Snow is the whole point of a ski trip, and these resorts have the altitude and aspect to deliver it more reliably than the rest. We rank by our snow score, a 0 to 100 measure combining base and summit altitude, historical snow record and aspect. Expect resorts that open early, close late and survive lean winters when lower neighbours close.
