Skiing is one of the most popular activities for visitors who come to Europe during the
winter, and euronights.co.uk describes many of the continent's most famous Skiing Venues in great detail.
Naturally, the Alps are the first destination most people think of when they plan a skiing holiday in Europe, and the Alps are certainly the most famous of the many Skiing Venues in Europe. According to euronights.co.uk and many other websites, parts of the Alps can be found in no fewer than seven European nations.
Visitors can not only ski in the Alps in Italy, Austria, Switzerland, France, Germany, Slovenia, or Liechtenstein, they can even ski from one country to another at certain ski resorts. Many past Winter Olympics have taken place in famous Alps resorts like Germany's Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Austria's Innsbruck, and the French resorts of Albertville, Chamonix, and Grenoble.
However, there are other Skiing Venues in Europe outside the Alps. Another famous European ski resort, Italy's Cortina d’Ampezzo, is actually located between the Alps and the Dolomite mountains in the Ampezzo Valley.
Another popular European skiing destination listed on euronights.co.uk is the Pyrenees mountains which border France and Spain and include the tiny nation of Andorra. Lesser known European skiing venues include the Tatra Mountains which pass through Poland and Slovakia, and Greece's Mount Parnassos located near the ancient city of Delphi just a three hour drive from Athens.
