So you want to take a skiing holiday but the prices offered in such regions as Europe and the Americas are too high for you to afford. So what can you do to curb your costs for you and your family when travelling abroad on a skiing holiday? Why not try signing up for one of the many Gulmarg ski packages available for prospective holiday goers?

The area is a popular yet less known about skiing destination in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Nestled among the snows of the Himalayas, this small town is mostly inhabited by those who work at the resort, many of the inhabitants having to leave the town at night. Guests are of course allowed to stay.

Another possible location is Cortina in Italy which lies within the Alps mountain range and hosted the 1956 Winter Olympic Games. Cortina is also one of the first ever ski resort cities along with the likes of Zermatt in Switzerland and boasts traffic free streets designed for just this purpose. It is also a very trendy place for prospective holiday goers.

The town is accessible by car or bus from Srinagar Airport at a drive of about two hours. There are somewhere in the region of about 40 hotels in the town. These range from low end budget accommodation to higher end 5-star hotels which are more akin to a bed and breakfast style than that of a hotel.

Partake of some simple drills to get back into the swing of it. Such drills might include long turns or leaning too far forward or to the side in order to determine and maintain your perfect center of balance. As you feel more comfortable then increase the difficulty of each drill.

Marketed as America's favorite resort, Vail in Colorado is ranked amongst the top five ski resorts in the world. Vail also boasts a massive terrain of 5,300 acres all of which can be skied on. Over and above the skiing there are also museums, art galleries and other snow activities like snowmobiling to take part in.

However skiing isn't the only thing that goes in the area. During the summer months temperatures can go as high as 25 to 30 degrees Celsius and visitors to the town choose to undertake such pastimes as golfing, hiking, fishing, water skiing and horse riding. This place is also home to the highest green golf course in the world, the Gulmarg golf club.

Gulmarg ski packages make it among the most famous tourist destinations in India and even has a few religious sites close to the town that may also be worth a visit for many tourists. Hopefully in the future the site can be saved from the introduction of greener environmental policies that can help curb the threat of too much tourism. However this in no way detracts from the fact that it is a great destination for any prospective holidaymakers and the various ski packages and holidays offered by the resort are definitely something to take into account the next time you go on holiday.
