ITALY
Italy welcomes skiers to their alpine paradise!
After all, the
southern rim of the Alps is Northern Italy's backyard. To the west is
Mont-Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe, which reaches an
altitude of over 4000 meters, and the famed Matterhorn that
straddles the Italian-Swiss border. To the east, ski aficionados find
a unique landscape characterized by the fascinating Dolomite
range, one of the most beautiful and picturesque mountain lines in
the world. To the south the long range of the Apennines runs along
Italy from end to end.
With so much to choose from, skiers of all levels will find their ideal
alpine experience amidst the sweeping landscapes, breathtaking
views, spectacular food and wines, quaint towns, rich culture and
warm hospitality that brings travelers to Italy time and time again.
When you have finished skiing, remember that Italy’s nightlife
offers just as many options. Take a low-key passeggiata (stroll to
see and be seen dressed to the hilt), enjoy the finest in authentic
dining, partake in the merriment at an old-world café/bar, or dance
the night away in a disco. Step outside the main cities and take in
the magnificent views of churches, castles and monasteries
serving as a contrast to the wild beauties of nature.
Whether you prefer the well-known ski pistes and grandiose
landscapes of the Dolomites with Cortina, Madonna di Campiglio,
Val di Fassa, and Val Gardena or are more intrigued by destinations
like Sestriere in the West Alps or Pila with its unmatched views of
the Alps from Mont Blanc to the Grand Combin and from the
Matterhorn to Monte Rosa, the ski travel specialists at World On
Skis work with you to create the ski vacation of your dreams.
Additionally, our Pre- and Post- Extensions offer the best of both
worlds by combining a number of exquisite experiences for an

snow…Embark on a Grand Tour of Italy – traveling in the comfort
and convenience of one of our deluxe motor coaches – chock full
of
activities,
excursions,
sightseeing
and
value-added
inclusions…savor a gastronomic extravaganza with a Cooking
Class program…Venture on your own romantic escapade under the

AUSTRIA
Skiing is one of the most popular sports in Austria. It is even said that an Austrian citizen with no skiing
ambitions cannot be considered a true Austrian. As the birthplace and world capital of downhill
skiing, Austria leads the pack with an amazing variety of resorts, activities, extensive lift systems, cozy
and sparkling Alpine villages, plus world class ski schools. Where sincere hospitality blends playfully
with the thrill of winter sports, the Austrian Alps are a wonderland for everyone to enjoy.
Austria’s ski areas are well organized, offering a variety of transportation and many valleys that are
connected via a system of lift links. Quite often, you may start skiing in one valley in the morning and
end up in a totally different one by the end of the day. Some areas offer so many lifts and tracks, that

sunny southwest exposure, and is at the center of one of the largest ski areas in the
world, the “4 Vallées”, with 410 km (254 miles) of pistes and 95 lifts. The runs of the
“4 Vallées” join together the ski domains of Verbier, Tzoumaz, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, as
well as Val de Bagnes and Entremont. This almost limitless area and the possibility of
off-piste skiing have garnered Verbier a worldwide reputation. When reaching the

and a unique view of the Alps’ major peaks. After-ski restaurants, pubs and discos will

GERMANY
Alpine skiing with a German flavor is the powerful mystique that draws skiers from all
parts of the world to the mountains of Germany. You'll sense the magic in the long Alpine
ski runs that translate into more skiing and less time on the lift line for you. Steep slopes
and great glacial bowls offer new thrills for even the most experienced skier. Plus, the
gentler slopes provide a spectacular experience for the less expert skiers.
Germany offers unique lift networks that let you ski from mountain to mountain, village to
village. Its unequalled variety of ski areas offers you every choice imaginable – from
modern hotels and prime resorts to fairytale castles and warm cozy chalets, each with
gracious ambience and breathtaking scenery. In addition to superb skiing, many of the
fluffy white slopes offer the skier a change of pace, with skating, tobogganing, sleigh
riding, indoor swimming and tennis.
Après-ski action in the German Alps is also part of the magic. Whether you choose a beer pub, a wine tavern, a high-decibel disco,
a sophisticated nightclub or a bustling casino, the German Alps offer a multitude of urban delights. In winter, the cities are vibrantly
alive, and the art galleries, museums, opera houses and concert halls are filled with activity. If you are in Germany as Christmas
draws near, be sure to visit one of the traditional Christmas markets that give a marvelous lift to the Christmas spirit in many German
towns.
