After our looks at the Top Ten Ski Resorts in France, Austria, Italy, Switzerland (and Scotland), we thought it might be interesting to see how they compare across counties:
The Top 10 European Ski Resorts on Facebook
1. Megeve, France – 79312 fans
2. Portes du Soleil, France – 53705
3. Grand Valira, Andorra – 49810
4. Saalbach Hinterglemm, Austria – 49256
5. Der Dachstein (Schladming/Planai/Dachstein), Austria – 42456
6. Vallnord, Andorra – 37601
7. Are, Sweden – 37208
8. Ischgl, Austria – 35179
9. Bukovel, Ukraine – 34342
10. La Molina, Spain – 33597
How about those Pyrenean resorts?
Clearly the Spanish/Andorran/Catalan skiers and boarders are into Facebook. You probably wouldn’t consider La Molina, Grand Valira and Vallnord as big resorts, but all three of these resorts in the Pyrenees come in the top ten.
Bubbling under…
Just outside the top ten sit Sierra Nevada, Val Thorens, Solden, Les Arcs, Tignes, Chamonix, Kitzbuhel and Switzerland’s top representative, Davos. The top Italian resort, Madonna di Campiglio is in 21st position.

Hi Mia, they’ve obviously added some more since yesterday. Clearly it’s competitive in Spain/Catalonia!

I have to admit (head held in shame) that I had never heard of Bukovel until now! I know now it’s a ski resort in Ukraine. Many thanks for the feedback.
