Ski & Snowboard Europe
Guided Tours
Challenging off-piste, incredible backcountry, world-class resorts and unique cultural experiences make Europe the ultimate destination for a freeride snowboard and ski tour. The sheer number of resorts in Europe means that once you arrive in a major transit hub, it's a relatively short drive or flight until you can access pretty much any kind of terrain that you could hope for. There are roughly 1200 resorts in Europe which would make it one of the biggest shreddable expanses in the world. Thanks to these massive ski areas, the statistical chances of scoring freshies for days are a lot higher. The countless small, hidden resorts across Europe mean that folk spread out way more. And unless you’re heading to one of the major freeride areas like Chamonix, your every day European skier or snowboarder just isn’t as powder hungry as their North American or Australian/Kiwi counterparts. All of this, of course, adds up to way more fresh tracks and faceshots for you and I. One of the other great reasons to ski or snowboard in Europe is the culture. There are countless alpine towns and villages that live and breathe the mountains, where the locals have lived and worked in these mountain towns all their lives. We’re talking about the families that farm the valleys in the off-season and the small-town shop and bar owners – all who will have ridden the local hills since they were old enough to walk.
