For ski travelling, not
only the pistes and snowy weather are important but as well restaurants,
nightlife, shopping, après-ski, nightlife and the activities available besides
skiing and snowboarding. Alpine skiing (or downhill skiing) is a recreational activity and sport involving sliding
down snow-covered
hills with long, thin skis
attached to each foot. Self catering vacation rentals is an extremely popular
choice with people booking ski vacations as they provide an ideal
home-from-home base from where other elements of a vacation can be enjoyed, as
well as spending time on the ski slopes. The mountain landscapes of any ski resort
are breathtaking, and the surrounding countryside can provide sight-seeing
opportunities as well as locations from where the all important apres-ski can
be fully exploited. Self catering farmhouses, apartments and chalets can be
easily found within convenient proximity to many of the world's best ski
resorts, some of which have extremely luxurious facilities like private pools,
but there are ample ski holiday homes to suit any budget requirement. Ski
travelling can be done in virtually all the mountainous regions that are
scattered across the globe, with resorts to be found to suit all vacation
requirements; from short winter breaks in France
to longer family skiing trips to Canada. The Alps provide first
class facilities in hundreds of locations across Europe
with excellent self catering accommodation and vacation rentals available for
booking close to the ski resorts. In France,
Chamonix provides the spectacular Alpine backdrop of Mont Blanc for a holiday
ski chalet on the highest peak in the Alps. Courcheval
is a cosmopolitan paradise where excellent skiing can be enjoyed at a resort
that boasts one of the world's largest armies of ski instructors, as well as
some fine designer shops.
