How this ranking works. Resorts are ranked by kilometres of expert (black) slopes, with off-piste terrain as a tie-breaker. All figures come from the Intski resort database (marked slope kilometres by difficulty, lift counts, base and top elevations, snow parks) and the list recalculates automatically when data changes. Slope kilometres are as published by the resorts.
