Skiing during Easter
Those who want to go skiing in Austria or Italy this Easter break should choose a ski resort that is high up. Especially in Austria, there are many glaciers above 3,000m, which, even with a rather warmer winter like the one we had this year, offer athletes guaranteed snow even at the end of the classic ski season. In Austria, these include 8 glacier ski areas: Mölltal Glacier, Kitzsteinhorn, Dachstein Glacier, Hintertux Glacier, Stubai Glacier, Sölden Glacier Ski area, Kaunertal Glacier, and Pitztal Glacier. In Italy are the glacier ski area Pontedilegno-Tonale, Breuil – Cervinia, Schnals Valley and Stilfserjoch.
Holidays in the Netherlands
The Netherlands is especially beautiful at Easter. Tulip blossoms, concerts, and numerous Easter markets await all those who decide to spend Easter in the Netherlands. When the sun awakens nature at Easter, cycling holidays are particularly appealing. Exercising in the fresh air and the first warm rays of sunshine puts guests in a good mood. It is a wonderful opportunity to explore the Netherlands on bike.
Warming rays of sunshine in Italy
In Italy during Easter, particularly in April, one can bask in the pleasant warmth of the sun’s rays. Opting for Italy as an Easter destination is a great way to escape the unpredictable weather. April usually experiences a low count of 3 to 8 days of rainfall on average, making it essential to pack swimwear for this vacation.
