This book has brilliant information over the major ski resorts in Europe. The pictures are stunning, and it has internet links to hotels, bars, pubs, ski rentals, and tuition. The one negative I have to give though, is the lack of resorts. Yes, it has all the 'major' ones, but there are no resorts in Germany, or Poland. Germany, of course, has the Bavarian Alps, and Poland has at least five major resorts. That said, the resorts included have a heap of info and detail, with how many blues, reds, and blacks there are, how many km from the nearest airport, highest lift, town altitude, amount of varied lifts, e.t.c. Maps are included. The following countries they include-
- Austria ( 19 resorts)
- Andorra ( 2 resorts)
- Bulgaria ( 3 resorts)
- Finland ( 2 resorts)
- France ( 36 resorts)
- Italy ( 20 resorts)
- Norway ( 3 resorts)
- Slovenia ( 2 resorts)
- Spain ( 2 resorts)
- Sweden ( 2 resorts)
- Switzerland( 23 resorts) Total Resorts- 114
Also, this book is from Nov 2008, so do not rely on the resort prices. But, if you are a beginner, this book is a must!
