Nothing beats the magic of a winter holiday in the mountains. Whether you’re skiing or snowboarding in the Alps, husky-sledding through frozen forests in Scandinavia, snowshoeing in Poland’s Tatra mountains, or simply soaking up the snowy splendour from the hot tub of a mountain hideaway in the Dolomites, we’d love to hear about your favourite winter getaways in Europe.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
