Skiing - the ultimate adventure holiday!
In this update:
Did you know that people have been skiing since the time of Methuselah, some time around 3000 BC! But modern skiing began in the late nineteenth century, and since then winter's premier sport has grown into a mega industry with a bewildering choice of exciting skiing destinations. This is, at least, a once in a lifetime holiday to be accomplished sooner rather than later in ones brief sojourn on this beautiful planet.

St Johann
St Johann offers first-class ski slopes, which are easy to navigate and well developed with state-of-the-art ski lifts. The area boasts a total of 66 kilometers of impeccable runs for skiers and snowboarders of all aptitudes, there is also a choice of 22 cable cars and lifts so those irritating waits in long queues are a thing of the past. One of the nice things about skiing here is that the runs drop right into the town, so when you have exhausted your energy for the day you can start your après-ski the moment you arrive at the well-known Café Rainer, which is renowned for its teatime atmosphere. Nightlife in this Tyrolean resort has something to offer every age from small informal cafés to the legendary Bunny's Pub where you may find an Aussie or two!

Livigno
Livigno is a hot favourite with many South Africans. The reason being is that not only does it cater to every facet of the ski and snow experience that South African travellers enjoy, it is also a tax haven where shopping is a superb alternative for those not wanting to hit the slopes every minute of every day. The range of facilities, such as shops, bars and restaurants as well as an active nightlife attracts a younger crowd hungry for a good time, 24/7! The resort is spread over a relatively wide area with over 125 restaurants serving everything from fast food to good Italian cuisine, so that voracious skiing appetite will be indulged at a reasonable price.
