Which Country Is The Best Skiing Destination In The World?. France glided past the United States last winter to emerge as the world\'s top ski destination despite a 2.7 percent drop in visitors to its stations, according to industry body DSF.

Grenoble, France: France glided past the United States last winter to emerge as the world's top ski destination despite a 2.7 percent drop in visitors to its stations, according to industry body DSF. Domaines Skiables de France (DSF) said it had registered some 53.9 million individual days of skiing on the slopes, a 2.7 percent drop from the year before.

However this still placed France slightly ahead of the United States which also suffered a drop in visitors of some 5.2 percent with 53.6 million days on the slopes. "There's hardly any difference between us," the DSF's Laurent Reynaud said of the results.

"But we are still happy because the season was challenging, we had a difficult start in terms of snow, and a strong drop (in visitors) over the spring holidays at the end," he said. It is only the fourth time that France has won the crown of top skiing destination, traditionally held by the United States.
