Unlike American Ski resorts, which are generally large and filled with new hotels and condos, European ski resorts tend to be small villages at the base of mountains, with inns and guest houses as their primary accommodations. Most of them are older than their American cousins and offer more history and, dare I say, charm.

One of the best ways to enjoy a ski trip to Europe is to book one of the many group tours. Not only are these trips more affordable, but you’ll be traveling with other ski enthusiasts. Most tours have a guide available for hints on restaurants, ski trails, and sightseeing as well as to help with any mishap or communication problem. Among the best of the companies offering ski tours to Europe are:

  • Snow Tours — offers tours to ski resorts in Italy, France, Switzerland, and Austria that include transportation, accommodations, lift tickets, and airfare.
  • Ski Europe — offers trips to dozens of European ski resorts, including the lesser known ones in Bulgaria and Andorra. Ski Europe also arranges trips for groups of skiiers, such as a school group, skiing club, or neighborhood association.

Whether you’re headed to the chic slopes of St. Moritz, Kitzbuehl, or Davos or prefer the more casual skiing at Chamonix or Grindenwald, you’re sure to find European skiing a once in a lifetime experience.
