We're experts on the skiing in Switzerland, Italy, France and Austria. But it's not just the Alps that Momentum has explored on your behalf - we have first hand knowledge of North and South America too.
 | Switzerland, with many of the highest peaks in Europe, is an increasingly popular destination for discerning skiers and snowboarders in search of authentic Alpine atmosphere and challenging, still-unspoilt mountainsides. |
 | France has the best skiing in the world - the scale of the dozen top French destinations is truly stunning - and this may explain why more British snow-users holiday here than in any other country. |
 | Italy's recent development as an international winter sports destination - given a major boost by the 2006 Winter Olympics - owes a lot to prices that are appreciably lower than those in other Alpine countries. |
 | Austria punches above its weight. Its ski resorts may be a little lower than those in France but it enjoyed an excellent snow season in 2008 - and the immutable Austrian holiday formula is still synonymous with snow fun and the traditional Austrian "gemütlichkeit" welcome. |
 | Skiing in Chile and Argentina began with the building of the Central Trans-Andean railway from Valparaiso to Mendoza around the turn of the last century.As no roads then accessed the Uspallata pass, near the present-day resort of Portillo, the Norwegian and British engineers and workers contracted to build the railway were forced to ascend (and descend) on skis. |
 | Around 90,000 skiers and snowboarders from Britain make the transatlantic journey to North America each winter. |
 | The "Zugspitzland" ski region includes the Zugspitze (2,962m) in the Wettersteingebirge and Ammergauer mountain ranges, shared by Austria. It is Germany's highest mountain, and provides the country's only glacier skiing. Beneath the German side of this iconic peak are the picturesque and historic Winter Olympic twin towns of Garmisch and Partenkirchen. |
