Default European cities: snow cover at Xmas

Yn erthygl , sgrifennodd
Colin Youngs :
Helsinki and other northern cities are of course also very dark in
December - short days and long nights. I would follow JPG's suggestion and
go to Switzerland.


The big cities aren't a good bet for snow though as far as I remember from
when I lived there. Basel, Geneve, Zurich are too low. There aren't any
really big places up in the alps. Perhaps you could try Interlaken or
(very expensive) St. Moritz? Having said that Luzern was nice and snowy
when we went on 27th December this winter, and that's pretty big. You
may be lucky, and snow certainly won't be far away.
