Switzerland
Arosa Lenzerheide
Two old resorts joined by a cable car in 2013 to make 225 km, and still less known than Davos an hour away. Sunny, wide and quiet, with a late season on the Lenzerheide side.
Worth knowing. Two resorts joined by one cable car. A queue there costs you the day.

Davos Klosters
Six separate mountains, 300 km of piste and some of the best lift-accessed off-piste in Switzerland, especially off the Jakobshorn and Parsenn. Davos itself is a functional conference town, not a resort village.

Bold marks the winner. Rows where neither is bold are close enough that the difference would not change a decision. Cost excludes travel, which depends on where you leave from.
Piste kilometres, lift counts and prices are indicative and compiled from public sources — they have not yet been checked against the resort's own figures for this season. Costs are planning estimates, not quotes. Spotted one that is wrong? Tell us.
