‘Better than the Alps’: The most dangerous winter sport named – and where to try it

New year resolutions often include exercise and Britons who may have indulged a bit too much over the Christmas holidays could be looking for a new sport to try. With winter well and truly here, a winter sport could be the perfect option.

Popular destinations include France, Italy, Switzerland and Austria.

There are also plenty of opportunities to enjoy some fresh powder in the UK.

Britons looking at a snowy staycation will want to head to Scotland, where some of the best snow can be found.

Glenshee Ski Centre is the biggest resort in Scotland and a fantastic place to try a new winter sport.

DON’T MISS

The resort has a ski school for Britons who want to learn safely.

On Tripadvisor, Ellie L said: “Had such a wonderful time here. We went on the ski lift (with our dog too!) and did a short walk at the top.

“The views are absolutely incredible – no photo can do them justice!

“It is definitely worth a visit to the top to just see the view even if you don’t want a walk. A fantastic activity for all ages!”

The most dangerous Winter Olympic sport was alpine skiing according to a research by OneBuy.

It was followed by freestyle skiing, snowboarding, short track speed skate and luge.

Curling was unsurprisingly at the bottom of the list, but it was not the safest sport.

Incredibly, biathlon beat curling in terms of safety.
