European Ski Trips

The picture-perfect ski holiday doesn’t have to include name-dropping in Davos, schussing St Moritz, or carving Klosters with Royalty. Many skiers point their ski tips toward big name resorts and miss out on snowy hideaways where you can have a scenic trail to yourself, and shorter lift queues, and still ski your way to gooey fondue in a candlelit chalet at the end of the day.

Here’s a sample of what’s on offer for top skiers to beginners in the German, Austrian and French Alps besides the obvious ski spots of Zermatt, Innsbruck and Val D’Isère.

These alpine retreats in Bavarian Germany, Austria, and France have all sorts of rousing recreation - scenic ski slopes, efficient lifts and charming chalets. Best of all is the reward after all this downhill diversion when the sun sets into a breathtaking alpenglow over the mountain tops – steamy saunas and spa tubs followed by lively après ski grog and gourmet grub.
