Wherever you choose to go skiing in the Alps, it’s so easy to get there from anywhere in Europe. There are many airports nearby the ski resorts,
but also by car, by train or by bus many of them are reachable.It really is so simple to get there, so you can spend time in the snow.
The Alps stretch almost one thousand miles across five countries and are home to several thousand ski resorts and
snowboarding areas. Just as every traveller has a unique personality, so do each of these ski resorts. Whilst France is
the undisputed jewel in the Alpine crown, and rightly deserves to be the most popular country in the world for skiing,
the other Alpine ski resorts each have their own character. Skiing in the Italian Alps at resorts such as Cortina
d’Ampezzo will see the atmosphere to be relaxed and decidedly Italian. Long lunches, abundant sunshine and chicly-clad
guests are the norm. Skiing in the Swiss Alps has huge off-piste potential and Davos is the largest resort in
Switzerland and one of the highest Alpine resorts in Europe. Skiing in German Alps can be a more ‘classic’ affair and
Bavaria’s ski resorts offer well-prepared slopes to suit every level of skier and sit in the most stunningly beautiful
landscapes. With its precipitous pistes, awesome après-ski and killer cakes, skiing in the Austrian Alps offers
picturesque villages, quiet runs and a warm, traditional welcome.
And of course, do not forget about the Après Ski. As the name itself reveals, après ski is a concept born and bred in France,
before spreading to alpine hubs across the
globe. A European ski trip is perfect for the skier or snowboarder who enjoys their leisure time. All throughout the
Alps snow lovers can experience dozens of perfectly preserved villages and hamlets boasting original chalets, hotels,
inns and restaurants. On-mountain restaurants offer sunny patios, mind-boggling views and world-class wine lists,
sometimes making the Alpine dining scene and après-ski experience even more a popular activity than the top-notch
skiing!
