Ski Villages and Base Towns
The village you sleep in shapes the holiday as much as the mountain does. This is the index of every village and base town guide we publish, 196 and counting, grouped by country. Each one tells you who the village suits, how you actually reach the lifts, and whether you should stay there or higher up the hill.

Sort the transfer first
On a village based ski trip the transfer is the booking that shapes everything else. Prebooked almost always beats the taxi rank price, and shared shuttles run on the busy routes all winter.
