How the Ski Resort Name Generator works
This ski resort name generator names resorts, chalets and runs: alpine names such as Val d'Argent and Hochwald, North American names such as Powder Ridge and Eagle Basin, chalet names such as Chalet Edelweiss, and ski runs from Easy Street to Widowmaker, for fiction, games or a holiday business.
How the ski resort name generator works
Ski resort names follow their region. In the Alps they come from the village and valley, Val d'Isère, Zermatt, Cortina, often in French, German or Italian. North American resorts tend to combine a wildlife or weather word with a landform, as in Big Sky, Eagle Basin or Powder Mountain. Chalets often take mountain flowers or animals, Edelweiss, Marmotte, and runs have the most fun names of all.
Naming ski runs
Ski run names are a tradition of their own: beginner runs get gentle names such as Bunny Hill and Easy Street, while black runs get warnings such as Widowmaker and Devil's Elbow. Runs are also named after racers and races, Kandahar after the Arlberg-Kandahar race. For a resort map, mix gentle, scenic and terrifying names by difficulty.

FAQ
Can I use these names for a real chalet business?
Yes, they are invented, though common chalet names like Edelweiss are widely used. Check local listings and trademark registers before you print brochures or register a domain.
Why do ski runs have such dramatic names?
Run names are part of resort culture and marketing, and dramatic names warn skiers about difficulty. They often come from features of the slope, local history, accidents or famous races held on them.
What do ski run colours mean?
In Europe, green and blue are easy, red is intermediate and black is difficult. In North America, green circles are easy, blue squares intermediate and black diamonds advanced, with double black for experts.
