Europe is definitely the home of skiing. There are more ski resorts in the European Alps than in any other region worldwide.
The largest ski resorts are situated in France and especially cater to expert and intermediate skiers. Examples are the 600km of interconnected groomed
slopes offered by Les 3 Vallees or the 300km of runs in Val D'Isere and Tignes.
Another approach to skiing is offered by the ski areas in Austria. Cozy huts, well groomed slopes
and traditional food are only one of the first few thoughts which skiers have in mind when thinking about skiing in Austria. But there is a lot more to discover
when you ski in Austria, for example the famous apres ski parties in the big ski resorts like St. Anton, Serfaus or Ischgl.
If you prefer skiing the quiet and not so crowded touristy way you will be adviced to go skiing in the smaller ski resorts in Germany. These offer really
good deals for families and beginners. The runs are less crowded, the lift tickets are cheaper and most of the time the slopes are not that demanding.
Especially the Bavarian Forest fulfils this criterions and offers a lot of culture!
Right in the middle of the Alps the biggest mountains and most well-known ski resorts of Switzerland can be found. Concerning skiing in Switzerland, the first thing which comes into one's
mind is definitely Zermatt and the Matterhorn. But there is a lot more about skiing in Switzerland.
It boasts a ton of big ski resorts combined with old mountain culture. Besides that, for those who like it quiet, the beautiful scenery of the Alps is not
disturbed by party people and big apres ski parties.
