These are the best ski resorts in the world in 2020 (and the best in Spain)
Val Thorens (France), the best resort in the world, and Boí Taül, the best in Spain, triumph at the World Ski Awards 2020
Opening of the ski resorts: these are the plans available in Spain and Europe in general
This winter 2020-2021 promises to be difficult for the ski resorts. The French, for example, were told that until the end of the year they could take the air in the ski resorts , but not use the ski lifts, which was equivalent to denying the possibility of skiing. It was not, however, a final decision, because days later a review of the measures set for December 11 was announced. We will see then. In Spain, the limits that the administrations will set are not yet known, despite the fact that those in charge of the stations have proclaimed that they are safe places : outdoor sport, with a helmet and with sufficient distance.
In this context, these days we have known the winners of the eighth annual edition of the World Ski Awards, voted by ski enthusiasts and professionals in the snow travel tourism sector, such as hoteliers or agencies. This is the top 3 of each category.
