There is a great reason for which we love winter: winter sports. And for lovers of winter sports there are at least four reasons to prefer Europe: Italy, Austria, France, Switzerland. What they all have in common? Dignified Alps with their dizzying heights and ridges where snow never melts. And I think all skiers know what that means: skiing all year round.
Why skiing in Italy? Italy is the owner of a substantial slice of paradise for winter sports. Italy has the Dolomites with 1220 kilometers of ski slopes in 12 regions, 8 of 10 sunny days and 90% of guaranteed snow slopes (due to artificial snow systems). Like the Italian highways, ski areas are famous for their well-maintained trails, sunny and immaculate white. Italy offers many options for skiing. There are ski areas all year round or just summer ski areas. North - west of Italy is one of the best choices for ski vacations. Italian ski resorts are not as famous as those in Switzerland and Austria, but have a special charm, partly because of innate hospitality and friendship of the Italians and their positive attitude towards life.
Why skiing in Austria? Well, suffice to mention only that skiing is a tradition in Austria. Once you've skied in Austria will remain devoted to this cradle of the white sport. What do offer in addition to other places Austria? A great variety of attractions, numerous ski areas, from large, international, to the intimate, family, the best prepared slopes. Also ski kindergartens and auxiliary programs, recommends the ideal destination for families! Due to glaciers, ski season last 365 days!
Why France? Of course, Italy has the Dolomites and the "Dolce Vita", but France is Mont Blanc and the "je ne sais quoi." Maybe the French ski resorts are not as picturesque as those in Italy or Austria, but it certainly offers one of the coolest ski sensation in Europe, with very long slopes and near the right accommodation! France has a tradition of ski resorts for over 20 years. With the advantage on her side of the Alps, France has varied ski area, a long winter season and quality service. From the north, from Mont Blanc to the south, in Dauphine, French Alps host no fewer than 200 mountain resorts. Each region has its specificity, so that tourists can find the best winter destination.
Finally, but not last, "queen" ski destinations in Europe, Switzerland. Skiing in Switzerland can be characterized by "luxury". Endless trails, mountain villages with a special atmosphere, specific mountain trains and train station located at the highest elevation in Europe (3400 m)! In fact, one of Switzerland's strengths is the train rides, rides offering breathtaking mountain scenery. Prices slightly higher quality service guarantee. Skiing is assured throughout the year over 3000m altitude! Also in Switzerland are two of the most famous mountain ski resorts in the world: Zermatt and St. Moritz, last holding the highest standards of skiing in Europe, being in the past host of the Winter Olympics.
What is unique about skiing in Europe in the areas above is that you can enjoy skiing experience without boundaries. It is not unusual to pass the border on skis, for example in Italy there are places where you can ski directly into another country (i.e. international ski area Vialattea totaling six ski resorts in Italy and resort Montgenèvre in France).
