Where to go during the European Winter?

Does winter remind you of snowball fights, sliding thrills and gleeful times while you eat fondue or raclette cheese with family and friends? Would you love to go to the mountain in winter and enjoy the sunshine on the immaculate white sparkling slopes of ski resorts? Wouldn’t it be great to try out ski gear for the first time and enjoy the unique experience of exploring breathtaking landscapes in the best mountain resorts of the country? Enjoy the generous sunshine in Serre-Chevalier of the Hautes-Alpes and get initiated into alpine skiing and cross-country skiing. If you feel like going to the mountain, you can visit Europe’s highest resort in Val Thorens! Finally, for the best winter skiing experience, you can go to La Plagne, one of the busiest ski resorts in the world.
