Europe's Top Five Ski Destinations | Cuba Travel

Europe has a vast array of ski destinations ? so many that it can be hard to know where to choose. While all have different advantages and qualities, here are five of the most highly regarded.

Skiers looking for winter holiday destinations will not be disappointed by the ever-famous Chamonix. As the first host of the Winter Olympics Games in 1924, the area now sees skiers flock to its slopes in great numbers.

Boasting 30,000 acres of skiable terrain, the area is famous for having Europe?s longest run at 13.7 km, as well as a thriving apres-ski culture.

Meanwhile, Espace Killy in France is famed for having terrain suitable for people of all abilities ? and therefore is perfect for those travelling with people of various skill levels. Its diverse types of terrain mean it has much to offer skiers seeking something more challenging while still catering for beginners finding their feet.

If challenging and exciting is what you are looking for, St Anton in Austria may be the location for you. While probably not suitable for a lot of beginners, this resort is a haven for those looking to test their skills ? and match their busy days on the slopes with long and lively nights out in the famous St Anton clubs.

However, if you are keen on Austria as a destination but are looking for something a little more traditional, you may want to try Kitzbuhel, a 700-year-old village famous for being one of the most upmarket resorts in the country. Skiers will be able to get a taste for traditional village life and cuisine while enjoying the area?s fine slopes.

Those searching for some stunning scenery may want to head to Zermatt in Switzerland, which offers a quiet and clean location among some of Europe?s most picturesque landscapes. Dedicated a car-free zone, visitors to the area will enjoy their time away without the noise and pollution motor vehicles can bring to a city while having several famous mountains to choose to ski from.

Whichever destination you opt for, these skiing havens have something to offer skiers of all abilities and tastes.
