The most beautiful extra-Alpine ski tours in (and around) Europe
Extra-alpine ski tours are the unique combination of often untracked mountains and holidays in other cultures with their culinary delights. The landscapes e.g. ski tours with sea view in Norway are always worth a trip to a remote ski touring area in Europe. The ski tours presented here are much less frequented than we are used to in the Alps, but by no means less attractive!
The list is a small selection of the tours in the book Abenteuer Skitouren, Best of Europa.
