9. Innsbruck in Austria hosted the 1976 Winter Olympic Games and is known throughout the world for its facilities and ski runs. SkiEurope.com offers a SuperSki Weeks 2006 package that includes airfare from New York, transfers to hotel, six nights and breakfast in a three-star hotel, taxes and fees for $669 USD per person, double occupancy in March. Note that lift tickets are not included in this price. These deals sell out quickly and are sometimes withdrawn in a flash.
10. Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany is also available for six nights from SkiEurope.com for $779 USD/person, double occupancy from New York, not counting fees and taxes. Here, you're paying for the transfers, hotel, and daily buffet breakfast. Airfare, lift tickets, and other items are extra.
Like Banff, this is a place to savor with or without skis fastened to your feet. The splendor of the scenery, draped in snow, will stay in your memory.
