FOR WINTER SPORTS ENTHUSIASTS - THE BEST WINTER DESTINATIONS IN THE EUROPE



Interlaken, Bernese Oberland, Swiss Alps, Switzerland
A year-round outdoor sports destination, in winter Interlaken is the gateway to the Jungfrau region, with nearly 150 miles of ski tracks. Kleine Scheidegg-Männlichen is one of the world's most gorgeous ski settings, Grindelwald-First is more for the boarders and Mürren-Schilthorn offers amazing panoramic views.
Zermatt, Valais, Swiss Alps, Switzerland
Known for the famous mountain Matterhorn, Zermatt offers some of the best skiing in the Swiss Alps. The area is fantastic for downhill skiing, but those who do not ski can try their hand at mountain-climbing or hiking, or just enjoy the gorgeous mountain views from mile-high cable cars.
Zell am See, Austrian Alps, Austria
The picturesque lakeside town of Zell am See offers about 80 miles of local slopes, with beginner, intermediate and advanced runs all well represented. One hundred and twenty-five miles of cross-country trails offer gorgeous panoramic views. The neighboring town of Kaprun is famed for its glacier skiing.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavarian Alps, Bavaria, Germany
South of town on the Austrian border lies Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitze, rising nearly 10,000 feet and offering gorgeous glacier-top skiing. With almost 75 miles of downhill runs of all difficulty levels, Zugspitze also has 68 miles of cross-country trails, a terrain park and Germany's first superpipe.
St. Moritz, Engadin St. Moritz, Grisons, Swiss Alps, Switzerland
Every winter, St. Moritz attracts glamorous stars and famous politicians for a reason--its fantastic skiing. With several ski schools and an estimated 700 ski instructors in surrounding upper Engadine, it is a beautiful place for beginners to start, but St. Moritz also has plenty of offerings for more experienced skiers.
Val d'Isere, Savoie, Rhone-Alpes, France
Home to many ski slopes and schools, including the French National Ski School, Val d'Isere boasts tremendous skiing to complement its lively shopping and nightlife scene. While the schools appeal to beginners, intermediate and advanced skiers will also find more than enough challenging runs to keep them satisfied.
Skiing holidays to Kranjska Gora
Traditional winter package holidays are available with several leading tour operators, and can represent excellent value for money. Alternatively, for greater flexibility, and equally competitive prices, you may prefer to choose a ski hotel, apartment or chalet in Kranjska Gora, from the selection of accommodation in Kranjska Gora, and add this to a low cost ski flight to Ljubljana (for shorter transfers) or Salzburg, to create your ideal Kranjska Gora ski holiday. If you are visiting family or friends, you may not need to book accommodation in Kranjska Gora at all, and may wish to only search for cheap winter flights to Ljubljana or Salzburg.
