Looking at a map for Europe, you will realize that some major areas of all these countries have huge mountains. One of the largest mountain chains is called the Alps. The overall climate in these regions provides

wonderful warm sunshine over the year for all the valleys and the flat parts of the country, meanwhile the mountain regions easily get snow, where you can ski and play around for many months during a long winter season.

One of the usual reactions of Americans to snow and cold weather is, that it is not really wanted and not even worth thinking about. Many are not used to snow and also not really set up for a more cold weather. So as soon it happens, it appears unfriendly, uncomfortable and somehow frustrating. One cannot really deal with it.

But this is not the truth.

Specially Winter Sports Regions a very used to colder temperatures, snow, wind and sunshine, and the entire environment is set up like a cranking brick oven. Wherever you go, shops, restaurants, hotels and any other place, all are very well heated, warm and friendly, and you feel really different and can enjoy yourself, instead of having troubles getting yourself through the “tough climate” outside.

It is lots of fun, if you leave your hotel with your skies or any other sports equipment, because you are well dressed and may only feel around your nouse some fresh snowy air. It means, that you are

fully prepared and ready to go.

You can only get some discomfort, if the sun goes down, it is windy and cold, your cloth are wet and you are starving. That’s really bad. But it should not happen at all. You just need some good warm shoes, ski pants, pullover, anorak, thick socks, warming gloves and some better underware, a hat and best a woolen scarf. If you are skiing, off course you need ski shoes and skies in the correct size and well prepared.

That’s all you need.

If you have a rented car, you can just drive to the ski lift and park there. The Ski Hotels are never far away from the tracks and lifts. One could even march there by feet or take the hotel shuttle.

Now, if you made it until here, then the real holiday fun can start happening right there – be welcome.

If you know already how to ski, you are fine and you can get straight onto the lift, taking your first round. If you are a beginner, the best is to get some basic training for one or two days, so you can stand straight on your skies, move and do some curves. Your own team spirit and many ski adventures up on the track will do the rest for you.

But there are people, they do not like skiing or are too afraid doing it, and they can go to some incredible professional set up places for ice scating and other opportunities. Then, meanwhile Daddy is coming

down the mountain, the rest of the family can celebrate with ice scating, sauna or using one of the heated open-air swimming pools outside, And if you like, you can roll yourself in the snow like an ice bear afterwards. Off course it doesn’t work without some delicious snacks in between.

You can see here, that cold temperature, snow, ice and sun are not a problem at all. It is the opposite. It is also known as very healthy, to operate somehow in colder weather and getting some different showers of cold and warm. Your body will take it very positive. And being involved in some heavy sports activities, you will not feel the cold, you even may start sweating.

All these ski villages are set up only for tourism, so you will have lots of help available right there. And when the day is over, you may go to disco dancing or celebrating the day with some hot drinks. Most delicious is the classic glue wine afterwards.

I hope, I gave you some good realization, that winter vacations will be for you a superb new experience, having lots of fun with your all your friends and family – and some great new healthy strength !
