So every time we produce one of these lists, it seems someone shows us up for lack of research.
It’s true – we had never heard of Bukovel in Ukraine until a couple of weeks ago. And to be honest, we didn’t even notice that Tirol has almost 100,000 Facebook fans.
Then again, Tirol isn’t a ski resort. You could even argue that it would be pushing it to describe it as a ski area, given that it’s not much smaller than the entire country of Switzerland. It’s certainly not a ski region in the same way that the Portes du Soleil is.
But heck, the only rules are the ones we are making up as we go along, so here’s the new chart…
The Top 10 European Ski Areas on Facebook
1. Tirol, Austria – 92825 fans
2. Megeve, France – 79312
3. Portes du Soleil, France – 53705
4. Grand Valira, Andorra – 49810
5. Saalbach Hinterglemm, Austria – 49256
6. Der Dachstein (Schladming/Planai/Dachstein), Austria – 42456
7. Vallnord, Andorra – 37601
8. Are, Sweden – 37208
9. Ischgl, Austria – 35179
10. Bukovel, Ukraine – 34342
And for good measure (although I feel a can of worms opening)…

Grandavalira isn’t a area same Tirol. Grandvalira is a Ski resort. The area is Andorra or Canillo, or Soldeu.. but not exist a city, region o town with Grandvalir’s name. It’s the name of ski resort, same Vallnord or La Molina.
