For an off the beaten track trip, head for the powdery mountain resorts of the Balkans.

Still bearing the scars of war, this trip definitely earns you adventure bragging rights, and you won’t have to queue for the lift.

Start in the ski resorts of Jahorina and Bjelasnica that lie just outside the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo. Then cross the border into Serbia to the modern resort of Kopaonik.

Once you’ve had your fill shredding Serbia’s winter wonderland, go south to Kosovo to the Brezovica Ski Resort. From there, either head east to Macedonia or west to Albania.
