The gradual transition from winter to spring shouldn’t signal that it's time to hang up your skis for the season. There’s still plenty of opportunity to head out to the mountains, whether you’re embarking on your first trip of the season or trying to squeeze in one more week of skiing before the resorts. Spring is a great time to take to the slopes, with more sun and longer daylight hours serving to create ideal skiing conditions.
When planning a spring skiing trip, some resorts may be a better choice of location than others in terms of snow quality, quantity, and reliability. We’ve compiled a helpful list of the best ski resorts across the Alps for spring skiing.
