Europe has some of the world’s most awe-inspiring skiing areas, from historic towns carved into mountainous valleys to apres ski hotspots meandering through alpine villages. Whether it’s time to don the show shoes for a small, lesser-known resort in Italy or whether you’re often seen in the Balkans for your winter season fix, we would like to hear about your favourite smaller skiing destination in Europe. If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.

The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will win a £200 voucher to stay at a Sawday’s property – the company has more than 3,000 in the UK and Europe. The best tips will appear on the Guardian Travel website, and maybe in the paper, too.
