Europe questions
Before you book Europe.
Which airport do we fly into?
The Swiss resorts are usually reached from Geneva or Zurich, the French ones from Geneva, St. Anton, Lech Zürs and Kitzbühel from Zurich, Innsbruck, Salzburg or Munich, and the Dolomites from Venice or Verona. We plan the transfer as part of the trip.
When does the season run?
From December to April. The Dolomites usually close in early April, the higher resorts hold later into April.
