Romantic Ski Resort Getaways in Europe

Fun romantic ski resort getaways can be taken in the western states or in the northeast. You can’t go wrong with getting away to a wonderful resort hotel or a roomy condominium in one of these resorts, and the skiing is wonderful. However, why not consider taking it a step further and finding a resort in Europe that will provide memorable sights, the best food and wine in the world, and the most challenging slopes?

For example, consider Austria for your romantic ski resort getaway in Europe. Quaint towns in the Alps offer chalets with roaring fires, cross-country skiing opportunities to die for, challenging intermediate downhill slopes, and fun in the evening.

A good example is the Hotel Tennerhof, an old-world lodge managed by aristocrats in Kitzbuhel on an estate from 1679. This wonderful lodging combines a romantic and international flair but at the same time offers the comfort and service of a luxury hotel. The rooms are decorated with family antiques.

Or how about Switzerland for your romantic ski resort getaway in Europe?

For example, St. Moritz is the epitome of ski-scene elegance. Sip on an after-ski coffee with a shot of schnapps (the local favorite), dine at a famous restaurant, and shop at Armani and Cartier. Most slopes are intermediate-level and 75 miles of cross-country trails provide for picturesque tours on your own.

An example of a place to say is the exclusive Badrutt’s Palace Hotel. Centrally located on 6 acres of private grounds, this hotel has a spectacular view of St. Moritz Lake and the mountain. Famous for its excellent cuisine, it also has its own ice skating rink along with an instructor as well as a ski school. A shuttle makes getting to the lifts and back convenient.

Skiing Italy is ideal for your romantic ski resort getaway in Europe

Here you’ll find great food, good wine, and terrific slopes. More of the Alps are in Italy than any other country. Slopes for intermediate skiers are plentiful, but there are challenging slopes for advanced and expert as well. Cross-country-skiing enthusiasts love Italy.

An example of lodging is the Miramonti Majestic Grand Hotel in Cortina. Service is excellent, and the food gourmet; it’s a grand and wonderful hotel. Visitors give the skiing and winter sports very high marks.

These are only a few suggestions for your romantic ski resort getaway in Europe. There are many more wonderful possibilities for a European location for a getaway of a lifetime.
