Among other things visitors to the Ylläs resort can indulge in many authentic Lappish activities such as snowshoeing, skating on the fascinating Finnish sledge, husky and reindeer.

Amusing climate, unspoiled nature, picturesque mountain scenery of the Himalayas, steep slopes with an excellent tracks and guaranteed snow for skiing almost all year round - that's what attracted numerous tourists to a ski resort in the mystical Himalayan Kullu Valley, ranked seventh in ranking . In addition to skiing tourists can have a good time enjoying the ancient Indian culture and unchanged for thousands of years spiritual traditions. You can visit the traditional Buddhist monasteries and unique temples, centers of Tibetan medicine and caves, monks, hermits, holy Lake Revalsar, the abode of the tantric yogi Padmasambhava, the residence of the Dalai Lama and many others.

If European resorts do not captivate you with its relaxed atmosphere and leisurely riding and you want to tickle your nerves, then it's time to go in the "adventure capital of the world" - Queenstown on New Zealand's South Island. High class of trails gives the opportunity to ski in summer season and entertainments attract many fans of skiing and snowboarding. However, if you want to not only have good time with bungee jumping, air-surfing or rafting, but do not want to lose a warm bed and hot breakfast it is better to book apartments in advance.

The ninth place in ranking of guaranteed snow resorts holds the North American modern resort of Mammos located in the famous California at an altitude of 2425 meters above sea level. The resort offers excellent skiing until the end of May and also a lot of fun for everyone: helicopter tours, safari on snow scooters and dog sledding.

Turkish ski resort of Saklykent in north-west Mediterranean Antalya at a height of 2550 meters in the Beydaglary Mountains completes the rating of April resorts with guaranteed snow. The resort can hardly be regarded as a serious alternative for skiing at the end of the season, but thanks to the close proximity to the coast here in one day you can not only do downhill skiing, but to relax and swim in the Mediterranean Sea.
