The American International Women’s Club of Geneva has just published a new guide to skiing in the region.
Called “Think Ski” the new 181-page guidebook tells you all you need to know about downhill and cross country skiing at 21 of the most popular local resorts, some of them on our doorstep and others no more than a few hours' drive away.
Written and beautifully illustrated by local author, Eleanor Ormiston, the book is packed with all kinds of tips to ensure everyone, skiers and non-skiers alike, can make the most of their outings to the local ski slopes.
In France, these include ski stations in the Jura, resorts in the Mont Blanc region such as Megève, Combloux and Chamonix, and resorts in the Portes du Soleil and Avaris regions. Several well-known ski areas in Switzerland are also included.
If you think the skiing season is coming to an end, then think again. In the latest entry in her popular series of "Skiing with Kids" blogs for Ciao Bambino, Amie O’Shaughnessy gives several reasons why you should visit Davos-Klosters before the season is out.
In her blog you will discover all that Davos - the highest city in Europe - has to offer in terms of urban, sophisticated pleasures, giving visitors more than just access to skiing.
When it comes to skiing, families are warned that Davos-Klosters is comprised of six different ski areas, with each mountain area having it’s own distinct personality and ski offering. However, not all these mountains are interconnected, so if you have kids taking ski lessons in one area of the resort, and you want to explore another area, you need to allow plenty of time to travel between the two.
