What is the highest ski resort in europe?
The highest resort is indeed Val Thorens (at 2300m) as “Live to ski” says. However, the highest ski lift in any European ski area is in the Zermatt ski area on the Swiss side. This is the 7th highest lift in the world at 3899m. The highest lift in the world is in the Andes, at Chacaltaya, Bolivia (Top lift height 5,421m / 17,785 feet) – allegedly hard to ride because of altitude sickness.
