At the famous ski resort of Ischgl in Austria, visitors can have breakfast and then ski to the nearby Swiss village of Samnaun for lunch.
Skiing without borders is a favorite experience for visitors to the mountainous regions of Europe, where people can have breakfast in one country and easily ski across to another for lunch. The only thing visitors need to remember when visiting these places is to make sure they catch the last bus back to their hotel, otherwise they will have to pay for a taxi or rent a room at a new hotel. To be safe, visitors are encouraged to bring their passports if they intend to "lunch across borders".
Espace San Bernardo, France - Italy
Espace San Bernard is an international ski resort without borders, consisting of two resorts joined together: La Rosière in France and La Thuile in Italy.
La Rosière, located in the Savoie region, is a family-friendly resort with some of the sunniest slopes in the Alps and panoramic views of the Isère valley. The slopes are generally for beginners, while the area at the top of the 2,800m Valaisan Mont is for more experienced skiers.
At the top of Fort de la Redoute at 2,390 metres in the Alps, visitors can cross a narrow red road into the resort of La Thuile, located in the Aosta Valley, Italy. After taking a cable car, visitors can enjoy skiing on 160 km of slopes, winding through mountain restaurants and enjoying giant plates of pasta for lunch. However, the cable car is not available in bad weather, so visitors can only realize the idea of having breakfast in France and lunch in Italy, or vice versa, on a sunny day.
No matter which resort you choose to ski at, you can enjoy stunning views of the famous Mont Blanc peak.
Ischgl, Austria - Samnaun, Switzerland
Ischgl is considered the liveliest resort in the Alps, with big concerts and dancing nights that last until dawn. It is also a popular spot for snowboarders. In contrast to the excitement of Ischgl is Samnaun, a quiet little ski town on the Swiss border. Both are part of the borderless Silvretta Arena ski resort.
Back in the 19th century, when the only way to reach Samnaun was through Austria, Switzerland decided to exempt the village from taxes. Today, skiers from Austria who visit Switzerland also enjoy tax-free shopping. The old trails are now open to visitors.
Portes du Soleil, France - Switzerland
Twelve resorts, eight in France and four in Switzerland, make up one of the world's largest ski areas, Portes du Soleil. This year, Portes du Soleil turns 60 and has a total of 650 km of ski runs.
Visitors start their journey from the traditional French village of Chatel, cross the Swiss border through the villages of Champoussin and Les Crosets and turn into the country's largest village, Champéry.
Visitors also love to visit the famous Swiss Wall, which has a vertical drop of more than 330 meters. However, only professional skiers dare to try skiing in this area.
After challenging yourself on the Swiss Wall, return to France via the 1960s-style resort of Avoriaz, which is home to two traditional villages, Morzine and Les Gets. This is also an ideal resort for family groups.
Via Latte, France - Italy
Of the eight ski resorts that make up the Via Lattea, only Montgenèvre is located in France, the rest are in Italy. About a 20-minute walk along snow-covered slopes from Montgenèvre is the Italian village of Claviere.
Many day skiers will start at Montgenèvre and ski all the way to Sestriere, one of the resorts that hosted the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics. Party-goers will choose Sauze d'Oulx, while those looking for a quieter getaway should head to the village of Sauze d'Oulx.
Zermatt, Switzerland - Cervinia, Italy
Staying in the Swiss village of Zermatt will give you a better view of the famous Matterhorn. But the Italian resort of Cervinia has its own charms, with long, wide, sunny, snowy slopes and cheaper prices.
In 2023, the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing cable car will open, connecting the two resorts, making it easier for visitors to travel between the two countries. It will also make it easier for non-skiers to travel between the two resorts. However, the line will be closed for maintenance from January 6 to January 14, 2025.
