This post is presented in co-operation with Lion Alpin

We are going skiing in the Alps! Wehooo! This will be something completely new for us, and it will be soooo exciting. We have skied before, but it's been a long time, and never in the Alps. In January it's time, and then it's off to Austria.

Not the first time on skis

We have been skiing before. I (Helena) learned to ski when I was 4 years old, and I spent a week every year growing up. Together with my family I went to the Swedish mountains and also once to Trysil in Norway and once to Harz in Germany.

"I thought it was a lot of fun, but as I got older, other interests took over. Peter did some skiing on the slopes around Stockholm when he was younger, but almost only trick skiing (short skis).

We have skied together once too! In the winter of 2008 we went to Sälen together with everyone at Peter and his brother's company, and their families. Great fun! And good with a little rehearsal of course. But since then we have not been on any skis ...

Skiing in the Alps

Now, for the first time, we will be skiing in the Alps, and it will be in the Austria. We understand that it will be different from the Swedish mountains and we look forward to long slopes, beautiful views and hopefully a lovely climate.

Personally, I'm a bit worried about the lifts. I'm used to button lifts and anchor lifts, but I realise that it's more likely to be cabin lifts. It feels a little scary when you are afraid of heights, but it's okay!

Thinking about a skiing holiday this year? Why not join us? Go on a winter holiday to the Alps and get a real winter experience! And, if you've been on a skiing holiday in the Alps - give us all your best tips! What should we pack? What should we think about?
