To celebrate the wonderful news of the birth of the future king, all of us at Ski Swift got all patriotic and created a list of our top resorts which will be fit for a king.

We know the Royal family are keen skier and ventured out onto the slopes many times. Here is our list of resorts where it is quite possible to bump into royalty and potentially the location where King George will take to the snow - when he is old enough of course.

Klosters – Davos Switzerland

This resort has the reputation as Prince Charles’ favorite resort, it is made up from the two extremely high altitude resorts; Davos and Klosters, linking over 320km of world class skiing. There are 6 different mountain ranges linked by the state of the art lift system, giving something for everyone - no matter your ability. There are rumours that this is the location that Charles and Diana got engaged, and later where Andrew and Fergie and the first skiing trip Wills took Kate. This resort is definitely a favorite with our Royals.

Courchevel France
