Данный рейтинг составляется путем тестирования 106 курортов в 13 странах, что является вполне себе субъективным подходом в отличии от опросов проводимых к примеру worldskiawards.com и europeanbestdestinations.org
В этом году победители практически соотвествуют аналогичному списку 2013 года.
Отмечу только первенство австрийских и южнотирольсикх курортов за малым исключением.
Удивительно, что победителем по сумме критериев оказался снова Китцбюель набрав 4,8 из 5 возможных.
Остальные 5-stars представлены ниже:
