Skiing in December in Europe? -Val Thorens, France
Yes, it's possible but you have to go high. The higher, the better. High altitude equals lower pressure, which equals lower temperatures in the late autumn, which in turn equals snow, not rain! When you combine altitude with historically high snowfall, you get an interesting list of skiing areas in the Alps, where you can almost guarantee a natural snow skiing in early December! We have visited and selected the highest ski resorts in Europe with world-class skiing and partying. So, one itching to start the season early must not miss.

November 2022 Kite Safari, Red Sea, Egypt
Perfect winds, resourceful crew and world class instructors on a small but comfy yacht on our Autumn 2022 Kite Safari. The November 2022 was booked with the idea to gather some of the best kite and wing surfing instructors in Europe and provide world class lessons to the rest of us. The kite instructors a large variety of skill levels and abilities as we were a mixed group of intermediate, beginner and “never-seen-a-kite-before” bunch of adventure seekers. I am glad to say, as our reviews on TrustPilot would confirm, all 4 instructors we invited did a great job and each one of us on the yacht improved immensely.
Our first yacht cruise around the Red Sea islands and lagoons
May 2022 Kite surfing safari on M/Y Sea Story - a Luxury Yacht . We booked our May 2022 trip at the very last minute (only a couple of months before we were due to fly out) due to uncertainty caused by covid and the war in Europe. However, as often happens, impromptu decisions tend to be good ones. Furthermore, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that the kitesurfing world champion for 2020 and 2021, Hannah Whitely will be on board with us with one of the best videographers around, Andy Troy, courtesy of our hosts – the Egyptian Cruising Company.
