Ski Resorts for Non-Skiers
Ski resorts for non-skiers
A memorable ski holiday isn't just about the thrill of the slopes - it's also about the holiday experience as a whole, especially when travelling with friends and family who may not all share the same enthusiasm for skiing.
Here are the ski resorts we recommend for non-skiers and all strike the perfect balance between on and off slope attraction. Whereas these resorts do cater to avid skiers they also offer an abundance of activities and attractions which appeal to non-skiers.
The destinations we have selected are not just about snow, ski lifts and extent of ski area (although of course they all offer excellent skiing). Instead, these resorts are vibrant hubs of activity where non-skiers can immerse themselves in a world of relaxation, adventure and alpine exploration.
From luxurious spas and scenic walking trails to enchanting villages and lively après-ski scenes, our recommended resorts for non-skiers promise an unforgettable experience for everyone, regardless of whether you clip into a pair of skis or not.
