Skiing in the Netherlands

Although the incident in Tyrol was serious, the ski region is also a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts and offers the opportunity to relax and have fun. In the Netherlands, where the ski season is also fun, the large ski areas such as SnowWorld Landgraaf with their 12 kilometers of slopes and 75 ski lifts share the interest of winter sports enthusiasts. SnowWorld Landgraaf is considered the largest ski area in the Netherlands and attracts many visitors, not least because of the relatively low altitude of up to 210 meters skiresort.de shows.

However, the developments in Tyrol should not overshadow safety in skiing, which also plays an important role, especially in the popular but lower ski areas of the Netherlands. Here skiers can enjoy numerous runs, even if the challenges and differences in altitude are not comparable to the demanding slopes of the Alps. Nevertheless, skiing in the Netherlands is a welcome change for winter sports fans who want to conquer the slopes in the cold season.
