We have covered 5 most famous terrains for snowboarding in the world for you.

Having one of the best freeride terrain in Europe, every year Freeride World Tour is held in Verbier.

- Whistler Blackcomb, Canada: If you ask any snowboarder of Canada what is the best snowboarding resort, we bet they will say Whistler. You can find yourself in the best snowboarding area just by driving for two hours from Vancouver. The place has everything from the backcountry, parks to the powder. Every winter you can enjoy fresh snow of 450 inches and 3,000 metres of vertical terrain.

Also known as The Land of Rising Sun, the place witnesses one of the biggest snowfall in the world- around 14m per year. What’s more amazing is that you can ride through waist deep powder and by the time you have made it to the top again your tracks will be covered entirely by snow.
- Chamonix, France: This place is all about ropes, carabiners and ice axes. Being Europe's tallest mountain, Chamonix is nested beneath the shadow of Mont Blanc. For snowboarders and mountaineers, there is plenty of background terrain to explore from the top of lifts. Hire a guide to take you from the top of Aiguille du Midi to experience the valley below for the ultimate adventure.
