Where to go for snow?
So it’s Friday afternoon. It’s raining outside. There’s nothing in the diary to keep you excited. Every other shop window is spraying fake snow all over the place. You’re dreaming of far away lands. You’re dreaming of pistes glowing white under a fresh dump of snow. You’re dreaming of schnapps and good times. Why not? But where to first?
If you’re thinking of dropping everything and jumping on a plane for a quick snow plough in the alps it’s going to be a bit of a risk at this time of year. But don’t worry. With your trusty computer at hand you can check out the snow conditions practically anywhere. So. How about a quick overnight dash to Scotland? What’s happening right now? Thankfully you can check out the conditions right here at Ski-Scotland’s website. There’s not much on offer but you might be lucky if you head for the Cairngorms. They plan to open this weekend for snow sports. Yippeeee.
If it’s more serious stuff you’re after, then you might have to head south. The exact destination for your mind wanderings might depend on the imaginary snow but if you were going to do the whole daydreaming thing properly then it might be time to start dreaming up some thermals too. According to snow-forecast.com Klyuchevskaya in Russia is reporting temperatures as low as -30 degrees centigrade. Brrrrr.
But for even deeper dreaming you might have to head for more traditional territory. There are reports of powder at Zermatt, one of the more famous of Switzerland’s ski resorts. Easyjet will take you there tomorrow from Gatwick for just £129.00 (without bags or skis). But who cares, we’re only dreaming right? From Zurich you will need to get a train to the resort but you can make a part of this on The Glacier Express, ‘the most famous railway in the world’. Now that sounds good doesn’t it? A little James Bond, but what the heck?
And of course you’ll want to make sure you’ve got everything to hand for your trip. Cue the internet once more. You can get winter sports travel insurance from World First in just a few moments. Even if you need medical travel insurance to cover a pre-existing medical condition they can complete a medical screening online and cover you in just a few minutes. You know, if you decided that you were really going to go. It’s reassuring isn’t it? And if you plan on doing this sort of thing more often you could even get cheap annual travel insurance at the drop of a hat too. Worth keeping in mind if you ever decide to hit the road for real. Because, you know, it is possible.
Tempting isn’t it?
