    The best European resorts for summer skiing

    By DemoneRosso | 05 February 2021 | 1 min

    Late spring, higher temperatures and flowers blooming. The World Cup crowns its kings and queens and we start putting away our skis and boots. There is another summer to wait. Or maybe not.

    Who said you can ski only in wintertimeOf course, most enthusiasts give up when resorts are closing and dedicate themselves to something else during the summerNot you, though. For you it is not enough, you cannot wait until December, especially this year that the season ended way to early.  

    The clamp of the ski boot that tightens your ankle, the sound of the bindings that attach. The colors of the world change behind your mirrored lens. Feelings and emotions that are hard to let go for months, perhaps exactly when you found the perfect understanding between your body and equipment  

    The solution is here, in front of your nose. You just need to change ski resortYou will have to drive for a few hours more, but how hard can that beAs long as hardpack and an open facility are there, the trip will be worth the ticket.    

    If you really do not want to give up to the end of the season, here you are the most well-known destinations you can enter in your sat nav.
