Mulled wine, food stalls, live bands and DJs keep Zurich up and partying all night. After the fireworks show ends, the musical entertainment starts up again and continues until 3am
After a week of this, then its time to rest for a day on your chartered coach

Start your skiing Europe holiday
here where a day on these magic mountains is certain to be far too short for you! Here you're simply spoilt for choice with six great snowsport regions: Jakobshorn, Parsenn/Gotschna and family-friendly Pischa, Madrisa and Rinerhorn.
In other words, you can take your pick of over 318 km of pistes with guaranteed snow and 61 mountain transport facilities. Jakobshorn - Snowboarders and freeskiers will have the time of their lives in the half pipes and fun park. And it's not only all systems go on the many pistes and installations: there's plenty of off-piste fun on tap in the ski huts. Parsenn / Gotschna ski region is on the opposite side of the valley & is the largest of the snowsport regions and easy to reach from either Davos and Klosters, with pistes to suit all levels of skiing skill. The longest downhill run is on Parsenn, from the top of the Weissfluh to Küblis (12 km). Night-time skiing is on the programme every Friday. Pischa, Madrisa & Rinerhorn, the family-friendly mountains are fabulous for people keen on skiing. Various "children's paradise" facilities offer our tiny guests great fun and games. Pischa is a freeride region. Three runs will be marked and protected from Alpine risks but remain unprepared. |

Val Gardena is still the annual meeting point of the world's elite,
and a lifestyle that oozes
Italian Dolce Vita. |

This year, once again, your skiing Europe
holiday will include the highly
popular timeless village of Lech Zürs at some 1,450 m above sea-level,
which
is a glittering jewel of the stunning Alps.
Our group ski tours have been coming here for many years. And the reason people love Lech Zürs is because it’s so compact and cosmopolitan all at the same time; because of the outstanding choice of skiing to be enjoyed on the Arlberg, the glorious countryside, the friendships you can strike up here and the feeling of always being welcome. Skiing here also includes the truly glamorous St Anton, as well as St Christoph, Stuben and Zug. To visit Lech Zürs is to fall in love with it for a lifetime. ...more |
