Determining the most difficult ski run will always be a subjective endeavor. Trails are marked and treated differently in Europe, usually with on-piste versus off-piste routes rather than the cut runs found throughout North America. So saying that one run in the United States is harder than one run in Europe can be pretty difficult. But Europe’s most difficult runs still stand out for their intensity, and YouTuber mountainsight has compiles a list of the continent’s seven hardest runs.
“There are some truly terrifying ski runs spread throughout Europe. These runs that are so hard that even the experts should think long and hard before hitting them. From suicide slopes to dangerous French passages, here’s our list of the hardest and scariest ski runs in Europe.“
Mountainsight’s list, as presented, is as follows:
