Snow Boarding Destinations

There are some great places to snow board in the world. If you are a snow boarder you simply must visit if you want to experience the greatest snowboarding that is out there.

Solden in Austria
This amazing resort is about 50 miles from Innsbruck and a further 20 miles from Otztal. This amazing place has three killer slopes that have three of the speediest lifts in the world that also have some of the best views. At least one night in the week the slopes open up to give you a chance to go night boarding in style. There is also a firework display and everything else that you can imagine to make the night a success, you can actually go for a drink in between runs and really enjoy all the aspects of snowboarding. If you have never been night boarding before this is something that you have to check out.

St. Anton in Austria
St Anton has some of the best terrain and that and that is why it is up there for one of the best snowboarding destinations. If you like to free style then this is undoubtedly the place to be doing it. The slopes are not very forgiving and unless you like high speed, high octane fun then you should probably go elsewhere. The slope has amazing amounts of powder that really helps the boarder to accelerate a lot faster.

Tignes in France
Tignes is without a doubt the place to go if you want to go snowboarding in France. Tignes was one of the first locations to actually welcome snowboarders while other mountains felt that skiing was the only thing that you can do on the slopes. Tignes is also the top place to learn your trade, with a wide range of training courses for those that want to teach snow boarding for a living. If you are looking for tree runs then this is not the place to hang, but it certainly has a lot of excellent runs that you simply must try.

Xcape Building Shnowzone in the UK
This is the best in indoor entertainment that is out their. If you think your play station is indoor entertainment then you really haven't tried the best indoor entertainment out there.  You only pay an hourly fee for the time you spend on the slopes and that even includes boot hire and renting a board. The fact is that this is an enclosed area, and there are instructors all over the place watching who will be happy to give you feedback.

LAAX in Switzerland 
This is snowboarding heaven and a must see for everyone. This place is home to some of the biggest snowboarding events in the world, and you will never see a pro turn down an opportunity to strut his stuff on these challenging slopes. The top DJs, singers and pop stars all want to come along to associate themselves with whatever is going on. This place has half-pipes galore for those who would rather flip than anything else. The ski lift is also good and for many beginners this is the most enjoyable part of their visit. You will find some challenging slopes as well as other slopes that are tailored for beginners.
