Plan your own trip to ski places in December

Where do you start?

Type a city or a country, or pick “Anywhere in Europe” for the cheapest start. From Canada or the US, type your home airport (e.g. Calgary or BOS): trips start with a flight from the nearest of 13 big airports there (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and more), and the budget covers it.

Then fly on toFrom Vancouver, Los Angeles or San Francisco, or an airport near them: a few places in Europe, one long flight on to Southeast Asia, a few places there, and home. Three long-haul tickets, all in the budget.

The ski places you can fly to

48 ski places in Europe, from our notes on each place. Typical daytime highs in December are long-term averages at a nearby weather station, not a forecast. A linked name has its own page of trips from there. A ski place has at least 5 km of downhill runs within 50 km of town, on OpenStreetMap's map of the ski areas, with one area at least 150 m from top to foot, so the slopes are a day trip from where you stay. A stop counts as a ski stop from 1 December to 15 April.

Each dot is one of the ski places you can fly to. Its colour is the place's typical high that month, blue for cool to orange for hot.
