 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All,
I'm looking for some advice on some resorts to add to the list of places to go in search of great snow parks. I have been fortunate enough to ride in the US and the accessibility to get to the parks and the sheer amount of features available for all levels is something I'm yet to really find in Europe. I'm trying to find some recommended resorts that have a good park set up, ideally with 2/3 or even more good parks across the ski area. I really am looking for the medium and large features as most of the group is past the small jumps, ride on rails/boxes etc
In last few years I've visited Verbier, Avoriaz, Chamonix, Sestriere, Avoriaz I'd say was probably the best but we did it a few times and want to see more places.
Looking forward to hearing those reccomendations.
Stu

@trouty00, welcome to snowheads. This season, La Plagne, Les Arcs and Tignes / Val d'Isere all had multiple parks varying in size from beginner to expert. There was an expert sized park in Meribel last time we went, and a complete beginner area, and I would imagine that had we looked around there would have been other parks for intermediatres

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I’m not one for parks but this one seems good to me. Flachau/Kleinarl/Wagrain area is about 1 hour from Salzburg.

Schladming is on the same lift pass (not lift linked) and they have a park too but more easy/medium I think.

@trouty00, I'm not an expert on this at all, but can point out that many of the international level snowboarders train in Laax.
And welcome to the forum.
[Edited: initially I wrote the wrong L resort, Lenzerheide].

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Went to laax in Feb (not the parks!) but my son went in a couple of them - they have several, and it was really impressive watching everyone

Livigno has one of the best parks I've seen and you regularly see pros training there. They also have a few smaller parks dotted across the area. They're hosting the freestyle events in the 2026 olympics.

Kaprun has a full size superpipe and just hosted the finals of the Freestyle Rookie Tour. Mayrhofen/Hintertux, Kuhtai, Flachau with great parks... Flachau also has a Burton Stash as well as the Absolut Park mentioned above.
Not familiar with the French resorts but Morzine is reported to have some decent stuff.
