The problem is there are 3953 ski resorts in Europe. Depending on what is counted as a resort, but anyway, the number is pretty much overwhelming,

Ski Resorts List

I've made up a list of resorts that must be a good value for money. For comparison purposes, there is a 5-day skiing budget estimation (equipment rent, food, drinks, ski passes, school). NOT INTENDED FOR BUDGET PLANNING though.

Highlights

I asked chat GPT to evaluate the resorts from the list according to my requirements and suggest the best options. Here is what I've managed to get:

If you want a balance of cost + snow reliability + solid intermediate terrain

If you’re happy to pay a bit more for a highly regarded resort

Recommendations

Any of the above should be a lot of fun, scenic, intermediate-friendly ski holiday without breaking the bank. If you prefer not to rent a car, look for package deals or shuttle services from nearby airports (e.g., Turin for Bardonecchia/Sauze/Sestriere, Barcelona for Soldeu/Baqueira Beret, Milan/Bergamo for Livigno).
