With 2019 almost at its end, it can only mean one thing\u2026.. The Alps2Alps Ski Awards 2019<\/strong> are here!<\/p>\n

This time round, we decided to put the power into your hands, as we asked our lovely Twitter followers for their opinion on the best ski resorts from around the Alps. Afterall, it\u2019s dedicated skiers that have the insider knowledge on where to go!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve kept the usual categories like prettiest ski resort and best ski school and added some new ones to keep things interesting.<\/p>\n

So, without further ado, here\u2019s our list of the best ski resorts in the Alps for 2019\u2026.<\/p>\n

Most Eco-Friendly Resort<\/h2>\n

\"BEst

Last year\u2019s winner: Saas Fee, Switzerland<\/a>
\nThis year\u2019s winner: Saas Fee, Switzerland<\/p>\n

The eco credentials of ski resorts<\/a> are becoming increasingly important to skiers as sustainability awareness grows and many resorts are stepping up to the challenge of going green.<\/p>\n

The votes are in, and for the consecutive year running, Saas Fee in Switzerland holds the eco crown! With a car free village, electric buses and a ski lift system powered entirely by hydroelectric power, it\u2019s no wonder this resort remains on top.<\/p>\n

Shortest Lift Queues<\/h2>\n

\"Chair

Last year\u2019s winner: Cortina d\u2019Ampezzo, Italy<\/a>
\nThis year\u2019s winner: Champuloc, Italy<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing more annoying that waiting around in lift queues during your precious ski holiday time. That\u2019s why many of us pick resorts based on lift queue times.<\/p>\n

This year, Champuloc in Italy steals first place from Cortina d\u2019Ampezzo for the shortest lift queue award. Despite being the largest ski resort in the Monserat ski area, Champuloc remains a relatively quiet ski resort<\/a>, known as \u2018Europe\u2019s best kept secret\u2019. This means shorter lift queues and more time on the mountain, so you better visit before word spreads!<\/p>\n

Prettiest Ski Resort<\/h2>\n

Last year\u2019s winner: Courmayeur, Italy<\/a>
\nThis year\u2019s winner: Wengen, Switzerland<\/a><\/p>\n
