European skiing holidays - a world of choice for all skiing abilities
European skiing holidays offer incredible choice and some great deals. There are literally thousands of excellent resorts stretching from western France, across Italy, Switzerland and Austria; and now in the emerging European skiing resorts of Bulgaria, Slovenia and Serbia. If you fancy taking your European skiing holiday where the much-loved winter sport originated, you can head to snowy Norway - home to 30,000km of marked trails - and the ideal place to enjoy spectacular scenery encompassing glaciers, lakes and fjords, while you ski. For experienced skiers, challenging skiing such as that found around St Anton, or the similarly tough terrain and dramatic runs around Switzerland’s Zermatt might appeal. For beginners, it might be worth considering taking your first European skiing holiday somewhere like Madonna di Campiglio - one of Italy’s largest resorts, which offers good beginner and intermediate trails, or the Pyrenees resorts of Andorra such as Arinsal and Vallnord.
European skiing holidays - resorts of character and scenery in abundance
European skiing holidays can also take you to world-famous locations. At Chamonix in France you can enjoy a smart, cosmopolitan town centre with great shops and amazing restaurants, all under the shadow of awesome Mont Blanc. While if you’re looking for budget deals, European skiing holiday destinations such Borovets, Pamporovo and Bansko in Bulgaria, or Bled, Bohinj and Kranjska Gora in Slovenia are well worth exploring.
European skiing holidays - a few hours from the ski slopes
Flight times to the great ski slopes of Europe make France, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and Bulgaria obvious destinations for a ski break. They are close and fantastically well equipped for all your skiing holiday needs. Maximise your European skiing holiday by travelling early and hitting the piste by lunchtime. The flight time from London to Zurich in Switzerland is just 1 hour and 30 minutes, while Grenoble in the French Alps is 1 hour 50 minutes away and Sofia in Bulgaria is a mere 2 hours and 45 minutes flying.
