Skiing is something you have to learn and it is not cheap, but it is one of the most popular sports. Skiing is one of the most popular sports par excellence, because no matter whether young or old, every generation practices it with passion. It is less about competition or rivalry, skiing is more characterized by its social characteristics: friends and family come together to spend a good time together in nature. Even as a big ski fan, the impressions and feelings while skiing are hard to put into words. The speed, the physical activity and challenge, and then the mountainous snow landscape… It is no wonder, then, that this great sport is not only popular in Austria. People also enjoy skiing in southeastern European countries such as Bulgaria, Kosovo and Macedonia. One of the most famous ski centers is in Brezovicë in the south of Kosovo, which is a very high-altitude and snowy ski area.

For the really big fans of skiing, one or other ski app could be quite useful and motivating. Enthusiastic skiers are well served with Runtastic Wintersport . This app uses GPS to record all the routes traveled and thus calculates, among other things, the calories burned, trip time and average speed . The bergfex/Ski app provides information on the current weather and snow conditions in the most popular ski destinations in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Northern Italy and Slovenia. The Ski TrailMaps app is completely different; it offers access to around 1,000 maps of ski areas. The Apres-Ski app provides the most important information outside of actual skiing . A search function gives you a quick overview of the ski bars and ski huts in your area, which are rated by other users using a points system. These apps offer good orientation for all things skiing for both beginners and professionals.

For those who have never ventured out onto the ski slopes before, I would like to warmly recommend trying out this great sport and getting a personal impression of it.
