9. Tignes, France
With the main village set at 2100m there are fewer places more snow-sure than Tignes, and pow days are frequent. Located in a giant bowl with lifts springing up both sides, it is pretty easy to navigate and find good areas. Most of the area is above tree line and pretty barren, so in stormy conditions visibility can be a problem – your best option during a whiteout is to head down towards Tignes Les Brevieres at 1500m, or spend the day in the Fornet trees over in Val d’Isère.
