Besides
well-groomed slopes and cozy huts, the winter sports enthusiast wants to
have breath-taking mountain scenery. Amongst all the peaks of the Alps,
there are some really amazing and beautiful ones. Most of the people might
argue about where the best vistas can be enjoyed and that's why there is
only a small list of the most stunning mountains in the European Alps provided
in this article.
| Those
who have stood at the foot of the Matterhorn won't forget the incredible
view of this amazing mountain. Besides that, the incomparable and beautiful
scenery next to this impressive mountain makes skiing there an unforgettable
pleasure. The web cam of Zermatt gives a hint what visual treats await
the visitor there. The Valais valley offers more than Zermatt.
The
ski resort Saas Fee is rising up to 3600 meters and the winter sports
enthusiast is then surrounded by several peaks which are higher than 4000m.
Besides the stunning mountain scenery the glacier at Saas Fee makes
a stay there unforgettable. Another stunning view can also be enjoyed at
Kitzsteinhorn. The winter sport enthusiast can see mountain scenery with
snow covered peaks and the village Zell am See amongst them. A good overview
of the views from the mountain can be seen while looking at the webcams
of Austria. |

One
of the most beautiful mountains in the European Alps is the "Dachstein"
with its great view at the mountainous ridge called "Schladminger Tauern".
Real connoisseurs of the European Alps often say that the mountain area
"Dachstein" is one of the greatest and most beautiful mountain chains.
For those who want to see an extraordinary large glacier should go to Switzerland
and have a look at the "Aletsch" glacier.
With
the amazing weight of 27billion tons it is the biggest and longest glacier
in the European Alps. In summer times when it is not covered by snow the
unique texture of it can be seen. During winter it is recommended to take
the lift facilities of the ski resort Belalp LINK to get the best view
of the glacier. |
Those
who are not that sure about it should have a look at the current images
from the web cams in Switzerland. In Germany, two of the most characteristic
mountains are "Wendelstein" and the 2962m high "Zugspitze" which is located
near the famous city "Garmisch-Partenkirchen". From there, the visitor
can enjoy a stunning view over the plains of Bavaria and, if the weather
is really nice, some parts of Munich might be visible. Obviously, there
are more really nice mountains in the European Alps but it would take too
long to name all of them here. In general, every mountain or spot in the
Alps has its own unique character waiting to be explored.
