Vladimir Vysotsky
Correctly remarked the domestic bard that "only mountains can be better than mountains," and he was not mistaken. We, living in the coastal metropolis, where the swimming seasons alternate from hot to very hot, often have to feel nostalgia for the winter snow and frosty wind, leaving a bright blush on our cheeks. If this is about you, then the best way to remember the winter is a trip to a ski resort, where you can completely change the situation and forget about the gentle sea and sandy beach for a short while.
Of course, skiing is an extreme activity, and it is better to prepare for such an experiment well in advance. At least two months before the trip, start regular morning exercises with bends, squats and a load on all muscle groups.
The SKI Dubai indoor ski resort is best suited to hone skills: of course, the slope is inferior to the natural one, however, after two hours of skiing, the muscles and coordination of movements are thoroughly worked out. And thoughts about the real mountain slopes warm the soul even more. Our family was one of the first among compatriots living in the United Arab Emirates to have mastered the ski slopes in Iran. After all, you can just go there for the weekend: flights depart regularly, tickets are inexpensive, and it’s a stone's throw to the resorts of Dizin and Shemshak from Tehran. It is especially beautiful there in April. To convey in words the landscape of spring mountains, opening from a height of 3650 meters, is simply not possible! As inveterate travelers, every year we "conquer" more and more mountains, including Dombai, rightfully bearing the title of "pearl of the Caucasus", and majestic Elbrus, and beautiful alpine resorts in France, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic and other European states . However, we still have many discoveries ahead.
In winter, on the European slopes, bright sun and fluffy snow dominate everything that happens. No skyscrapers and highways - real grace. Even hundreds of skiers hooking each other on steep slopes do not spoil the overall impression of calm and serenity. Alpine resorts leave their competitors far behind in terms of the development of ski infrastructure. Austria, which serves as a training base for the Olympic teams, is especially pleased. Here a lot of attention is paid to replacing lifts, caring for the slopes and organizing all the rest. Of course, I could be wrong, but it seems to me that the Austrian nature is more in tune with the Slavic soul: the people here are just wonderful, and it is easy to find an interlocutor with good English.
One of my last discoveries is the unique resort of Pitzal - a long, deep and picturesque valley with an ice cap. Here is the highest point in Tyrol - Peak Wilshpitze (3774 m) and the fastest railway tunnel lift in the world. The tracks on the glacier - blue, red and very red - in general, are designed for a good level of skiing. But beginners feel good on them. By the way, the Reich family, Olympic ski champions, lives and trains here. If you visit Pitztal, then the harsh beauty of the local nature and the hospitality of the Tyroleans will be remembered forever.
HOW TO GET THERE
The flight to Munich, Vienna, Prague or Salzburg costs from 1850 drh - up to 2450 drh, the main thing is to reserve tickets in advance. A ski pass for 6 days costs about 230 euros, depending on the season and the resort. The cost of living, of course, also depends on the season - on the sites of resorts almost always indicate periods of "low" and "high" seasons. Therefore, recommendations to people who want to enjoy a ski vacation - check everything in advance, and then you yourself can organize a fabulous snow adventure for your family, the ski season is in full swing!
