Lake Tahoe, it's quite surreal standing at the top of the lift system on the Nevada side, looking down on the massive Lake, and then across the Desert towards Reno :D

Not been to Maddonna in the winter (although the last September that we drove there it was pretty snowy) but the Dolomites are stunning.

Hi Gaz C,

Thank you for your vote :thumbup:
Would you be able to pick a resort or two within Dolomites as your favourite for views?
i think it is a bit unfair on other ski areas as Dolomites are so vast and encompass so many resorts?

Hope to hear from you:)


If you were to pin me down to a single resort then I suppose it would be Cortina d'Ampezzo. Ve-eh-ry ni-ii-ce. I've never stayed there, (don't think I'd want to) but I've driven through en route to the Val di Fassa resorts. As well as being very picturesque in it's own right, it's very handily situated for some of the most stunning Dolomite scenery such as Cinque Torri and Tofana. Some of the views from the Marmolada, a bit further towards Arabba, are also pretty mind-blowing.
