Ski tours to New Year on "Subtleties of Tourism"

Going into a snowy fairy tale, where smart skiers rush past with a dashing whistle, cozy smoke curls from the chimneys, and under your feet lies a dizzying slope and an indispensable attribute - bright skis or a “board” - the dream of many fans of active skiing. winter holidays. If we add to this an unforgettable New Year's Eve right on the mountain, with the clink of glasses... Only the high cost of “hot” drinks adds a fly in the ointment New Year's dates, and the need to prepare the trip much in advance - after all, many would like to celebrate one of the most long-awaited days of the year this way.

So, what do you need to know if you want to go on a ski tour for the New Year? First, of course, it is worth deciding on the direction. We warn you right away that the Alps, like North America, will be expensive, but there is always an option to find something from the middle price segment. For example, Austria is famous for its budget resorts, plus its capital, Vienna, is a large air hub; many flights from Russia land there. Accordingly, it is easier to find an inexpensive flight in this direction than to look for flights to Italian Turin or to French Nice or Grenoble.

The second point is the visa. By the New Year, not only skiers become active, but also the rest of the population, who prefer to celebrate December 31st or spend Christmas Advent in Europe. This means that the queue at the embassies will increase, the number of days for processing a visa application will increase, and there is a chance that you will not have time to receive the coveted receipt in your passport if you take a long time to decide on a tour or catch a last-minute ticket.

Finally, the number of skiers on the slope. You understand that not only Russians are packing their suitcases and charging their cameras, but also the rest of the world? Believe me, most of them will want to spend their holidays in old Europe, and 20 percent will want to spend their holidays on the Alpine slopes. So get ready for possible queues at the ski lifts, crowds on the streets of the resorts and fun in the restaurants. Yes, après ski at this time of year will be the most fun, but also the noisiest.

If you take all these factors into account, tune in to the positive and decide on the choice of resort in advance, then you will undoubtedly have an unforgettable vacation. And we will try to figure out the last point now.

Where to ride?

For beginners and also family tourists We recommend trying the Finnish fells. Skating there is not “ah!” what, but there is a lot of entertainment for the family - reindeer, Santa Claus, and the Arctic Circle with its radiance. Those who don’t want to leave half their wallet on the slope should pay attention to Eastern Europe - the Tatras, Beskids, Balkans. The altitude of skiing there is somewhat lower than in the Alps, but the prices are an order of magnitude lower. Where to go?
