New for 2013 app shows the position of over 440 ski resorts across the Alps, and how to reach them

This app, produced by Alpine mapping experts Roger Lascelles, is an updated version of their acclaimed SkiRail Map of the Alps.

The map charts the position of over 440 resorts across the Alps from Lyon to Ljubljana, and Milan to Munich. The app builds on the success of the printed SkiRail Map of the Alps with a number of new features including:

•the routes of more than 15 sleeper trains from countries across the continent to help skiers travel in style to the mountains from destinations as far afield as London, Rome, Prague, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Moscow

•a total of 130 rail-served resorts uncovered by the SkiRail Map research team including Swiss slopes within an hour train’s ride of Zurich, and Italian destinations just over an hour from the coast

•the position of 25 airports in, or near, the Alps, highlighting the ones with their own railway station for an effortless connection with the local rail network

•the addition of over 50 railway stations to help ski-rail passengers orientate themselves as they travel through the mountains.

•a number of unusual, non-rail served resorts including Liechtensteins’s Malbun, and Gréolieres Les Neige, just 20 kms from the Mediterranean with views across to Corsica

A wide range of skiing data is provided on resorts accessible by rail including the extent of downhill and cross-country skiing available, altitude, vertical drop, difficulty of skiing, and journey times by rail to the nearest city.

The app includes a book section where users can flick through a list of the 130 rail-served resorts, and simply tap on the selected destination to find its location on the main map.
