Winter sports destinations
Winter sports are a great way to explore the mountains and have snow fun. For a moment, you are in an almost fairytale world when you are high in the mountains, surrounded by the white powder and see the snowy peaks all around you. And even in these cold conditions, there is something for everyone.
Downhill skiing is perfect for if you like groomed slopes and access to elevators. Are you more experienced and a “thrill seeker”? Then you can also go tour skiing, which involves climbing uphill with special equipment so you can explore pristine terrain. Tour skiing offers more challenge and freedom, but also requires a lot more responsibility. Avalanches lurk, so safety is paramount here.
