Skiing in the summertime

See More articles From mathew.sabri33@gmail.com

If the credit crunch deterred you from making your traditional trip to the slopes over Christmas 2008 then you might be considering the possible ways in which to catch up on your missing snow fix in 2009. Surprisingly, there is plenty of scope for those who are looking for a snowy break over the summer months and it needn’t break the bank either.

To start with you’ll miss the hoards of Brits who make their annual pilgrimage to the slopes every year over Christmas. It can be a totally different to ski during the quieter months and whether you enjoy it or not will really depend on what you personally expect from a skiing holiday.

If it’s the après ski that you want sadly you won’t find nearly as much of it outside of the usual skiing season. However, if it is breathtaking scenery and break away from it all, with fantastic snow and quiet slopes, then off peak is certainly the time for you to go.

There are plenty of potential destinations for summer skiing too. At the top end of the European market you might like to look into going to Hintertux in Austria, which boasts fantastic skiing conditions almost all year round. At 2660m altitude, the Hintertux glacier offers some of the most staggering summer skiing scenery and a variety of challenging slopes for you to tackle, on or off piste. What’s more, there are plenty of other activities available too, from mountain trekking to parascending to relaxing in the top of the range spa, so you are sure to find something to keep you occupied.

If great snow and top quality slopes are the most important factor in your summertime skiing holiday then you should take a look at Alpe D’Huez in France. There are comprehensive sites to provide a multitude of information about available activities to their relative resort. The glacier stays snow covered all year round so skiing for thrill seekers is always an option.

Alpe D’Huez offers exhilarating opportunities to have a go at parascending, mountain biking, rock climbing and even bungee jumping, to name but a few of the many possibilities, so if it’s spills and thrills you’re after this is almost certainly your ideal summer skiing destination.

Another option could be La Plagne, France. Its glacier provides plenty of brilliant skiing as well as a range of other activities to keep you amused, from tennis courts to grass skiing, so you can be sure that that there is something there for all ages and tastes.

As far as travel insurance is concerned, this will usually be cheaper for skiing in the summer than in the winter. For some of the best value travel insurance packages, scour the websites for a policy with an online discount, ensuring that you have a safe trip on the slopes this summer.
