With the new year comes a renewed call to the ski slopes and fresh powder. All around the world, people are strapping on skis and snowboards to welcome the winter season. Fortunately Vinci Airports has locations near the finest terrains for skiing this time of year.

Scandinavia, as the originator of the sport of skiing, is a natural place to hit the slopes. Stockholm’s Skavsta Airport is only an hour’s drive away from the nearest mountain, and many more larger snowy peaks are accessible within only a few hours. While you’re there, take a break to see the surprisingly intact 17th century sunken ship at the Vasa Museum, see a real-life moose at the Skansen Open Air Museum, or head to the Östermalms Saluhall food hall to try traditional local cuisine.

Most enthusiasts dream of skiing the Alps in Europe. Known for their beauty, deep snow, and steep incline, this mountain range is perfect for those who want a challenge, but not a headache. VINCI Airports has 12 airports in France, and several within driving distance of the French Alps. Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport is the largest with over 11 million passengers a year and easy access to the network’s smaller airports in the region.
