Considering the Ultimate Skiing Holiday To another country

Skiing has come a long way since circa 5000 BC where etchings of a man wearing skis and holding a single pole were discovered in Norway

. It is believed that skiing was not only an aid to hunting but also provided a technique of manoeuvre for military purposes, whilst a valid form of transport in snowy regions.

Each year roughly 800,000 people worldwide take to ski resorts and either ski or snow board. The slopes they chose will depend on how experienced they are but all resorts offer beginner to intermediate to advanced plans. Skiing is not only for adults as children love this hobby also and are taught with the utmost safety and respect for their age.

Planning a holiday takes desire, time and effort in order to find the perfect balance especially when the break involves activities such as skiing. Research is a must as the correct equipment needs to be provided and further investigation is essential to ensure that it is provided on site. Check that trainers are available if less experienced. France, Switzerland, Austria and Canada are all popular countries for skiing offering fantastic resorts, trainers and catering to every need.

Switzerland, a popular destination for keen skiers and first timers is home to the Four Valleys, a huge expanse covering 410km of slopes and pistes. With an impressive 95 lift installations, this network can be located in the village of Verbier which is also proud to exhibit a fantastic night life including bars and restaurants, perfect for relaxation at the end of an active day.

Should Switzerland not be your first choice, then have a look at Austria. A resort called St Anton records the most snow falling in Europe each year so the experience is guaranteed to be unforgettable. Luxurious accommodation is located here so expect to pay that bit more but rest in the knowledge you have access to a further five surrounding resorts so the slopes will never be dull. St Anton is home to 18 mountain restaurants so either visit them all or choose a couple of favourites.

If luxury is your thing and you wish to travel across the globe, waking up to a chef cooking breakfast in your chalet, then Canada proposes the Kicking Horse. The resort has a choice of 106 runs and if skiing is something you thrive on then chose from an array of slopes that will make your stomach flip.

Children are well catered for in each of the three resorts discussed above. Tuition is paramount to the safety of young ones so comprehensive packages are offered, some even give the first 2/3 days complimentary. If you require some time out then once the children are settled for the evening take advantage of the baby sitting services and explore the resort further.

Whilst skiing may not be for everyone it is an amazing experience and a lot of individuals go back for more. To get the most out of this busy holiday ensure to research resorts fully in order to learn about the slopes, pistes, chalets, surroundings and night life. Skiing can be a marvellous way to spend time with family and friends whilst working on relationships having taken time out from the busy lifestyle everyone seems to lead.
