Historic Sirmione

Lake Garda, in Northern Italy, is home to the Roman town of Sirmione. Located on the south shore of the lake and a long, narrow peninsula, the historic town is set in spectacular scenery.

The only means of entering the walled town of Sirmione is over a foot bridge and through the Rocca Scaligera; a 13th Century castle with battlements and towers. Climbing to the top of the castle gives you fantastic views over the pretty town surrounded by emerald water, and out to further beyond where forested hills rise steeply out of the water.

European Skiing for All!

It’s no surprise that you will find the crème de la crème of Europe’s skiing hotspots in the picture perfect Alps, but if you’re keen for beers and revelry, you don’t want to find yourself amongst toddler-laden families. Along that vein, if you’re a beginner and mostly have your eye toward up-scale shopping, you don’t want to be jostled around by double black diamond experts and their common goal to be up at the crack of dawn with their electrolyte gel. Foodies, retail-therapists, families and those just hoping for a stunning mountain panorama, the Alps have a world class resort for you!

Best for Thrill-seekers- La Grave, France

You’ll need a guide at La Grave, even if you are a seasoned skier. Sprawling snow fields offer the ultimate rush, but also treacherous ravines, cliffs and of course avalanches! If you are a hard-core snow worshipper though, it all comes with territory. You won’t find care free holiday makers here, but instead, focused, passionate athletes.

Best for Beginners- Val d’Isere, France

You’ll feel like a pro, high in the craggy peaks of the French Alps, even if you are on the bunny slope. This resort has an expansive network of connected snow fields and trails that make it easy to meander back down to the lodge for that steaming cup of cocoa. The easy “nursery slopes” (try La Solaise) are free, making Val d’Isere the perfect place to test your budding abilities.

Best for Fashionistas- St. Moritz, Switzerland

Designer labels, extravagant price tags and a delightfully glam atmosphere make this resort not only a prime place to show off your artfully tailored, mink lined ski suit on the slopes, but one of the world’s premier luxury shopping destinations. Celebrities come to be seen, appear at polo matches, browse the lavishly stocked boutiques, and sometimes even ski!

Best Restaurants- Courchevel, France

At Courchevel you will not have to compromise your refined palate just for a few coveted ski runs. There are multiple Michelin rated eateries in this quintessential French mountain town. Try the fondue at La Fromagerie or the famed foie gras at Le Bistrot du Praz. You’ll be treated to highly touted wine menus as well as the relaxation you desire after a brisk day on the slopes.

Best for Families- Zell am See, Austria

The medieval charm of this lakeside resort makes it enchanting for kids and parents alike. There are ski lessons available to get the young ones out of your hair during the day, as well as baby-sitting services. You can explore the cobblestone village as a family or relax après-ski, sans children. If you are looking for a truly unique family endeavor, try ice fishing on the lake!

Best Parties- Kitzbuehel, Austria

Over one hundred bars, casinos, discos and lively hotel lounges make Kitzbuehel a coveted destination for fun-seekers. An international crowd flocks from Munich bringing a youthful, beer drinking vibe to the resort. Join in boisterous dance parties or just enjoy your fine local brew from the bar, listening to the band. If you are a social skier, this is the spot for you!

Best Scenery Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy

Tucked like a fancy bauble amongst the spines of the Italian Dolomites, Cortina boasts some of the most striking scenery you can find on skis. Limestone cliffs create a dramatic valley and the splendidly festooned hotels and streets evoke the grace of old Hollywood. You won’t want to miss the kaleidoscope sunset over the spires of the mountain backdrop. Don’t forget your camera on these slopes!
