Do you dream of experiencing a place where skiing isn't just a sport, but rather a deep-rooted culture and a way of life? Skiing has existed in Europe's Alps for several hundred years. First as a means of transportation through the rugged mountains and more recently, in the last century, as a fun way to recreate during the winter months.
Throughout France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Germany ski vacationers can experience dozens of perfectly preserved villages and hamlets boasting original chalets, hotels, inns and restaurants. A Europe ski vacation is also great for the skier or snowboarder who enjoys their leisure time. On-mountain restaurants offer sunny patios, mind-boggling views and world-class wine lists, sometimes making the Alpine dining scene and après-ski experience a more popular activity than the topnotch skiing.
Don't ski or snowboard? Not a problem. Ski.com has the inside scoop on plenty of other activities that include snow tubing, zip lining, fat biking, ice skating, shopping, para gliding, spa treatments, and of course, where to get your dinner reservation.

If you're on a budget don't write Europe off. It can be done by weighing airfare and being flexible in which ski destinations you visit. Most hotels offer full or half-board package options so you won't have to spend an arm and a leg on meals either.
