This season is shaping up to be one of the best in years, with colder weather, greater snowfall and the possibility spying the Northern Lights while on your winter break. Plus, the mountains are even easier to reach now, with Eurostar having rebooted their 'ski train', whisking travellers from London to the French Alps. What's more, some destinations are wonderful enough to visit even if you don't ski, such as Bad Gastein in Austria – and remember, there's always après ski. Here's some ski inspiration for the months ahead. | |
