Why virtual tours are essential for ski resorts

But why does this matter? Ski resorts, often sprawling over large areas and offering a plethora of activities and sites, can be overwhelming to the prospective visitor. Virtual tours simplify this, offering potential guests a comprehensive view of what to expect—from the steepness of slopes and the comfort of accommodations to the vibe in après-ski lounges.

Virtual tours are no longer a 'nice to have' but a 'must-have' for ski resorts globally. They facilitate advanced planning for avid skiers, encourage novice skiers to take the plunge by demystifying the ski experience, and are an invaluable marketing asset that can significantly increase bookings and engagement.

The impact of Poppr's virtual tour of Avoriaz

The Avoriaz virtual tour has not only won multiple awards, but has also significantly elevated the user experience, making it easier than ever for visitors to plan their snowy getaway. The tour brings together various elements of the resort—from ski lifts and slopes to hotels and recreational areas—in an interactive, user-friendly interface.
