Why I Stopped Skiing in the U.S.

(and Took My Friends to the Alps Instead)

Europe travel planning by locals who know it best.

We’re Denise, Wanda, and Kate. 3 locals from Germany and Austria who’ve spent our lives exploring Europe’s lakes, mountains, and charming towns before moving to the U.S.

Whenever we tell people where we’re from, we often hear:
“Oh, my grandparents were from there!” or “I’ve always wanted to visit Germany and see where my family came from.”

Over the years, we’ve helped countless Americans plan their dream trips to Europe - whether to reconnect with their roots or explore Germany, Austria, and Switzerland beyond the usual tourist spots. Every traveler we’ve worked with has called it one of their best trips ever.

Now, our team of locals plans authentic, stress-free trips across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and beyond - from famous sights to hidden gems. We love helping travelers from the U.S. experience Europe the way we do!

Five-star rating from traveler praising their ski vacation to Austria organized by LLocalz

Had an amazing trip planned by the ladies of LLocalz skiing in Austria. The house was perfect, recommendations on places to eat, sightsee and ski were all amazing. Incredibly grateful for their skill in planning a trip of a lifetime.

LLocalz did an amazing job planning our Europe trip. The itinerary was impressively detailed, including the best walking routes from our hotels, practical tips for each country, and hidden gems we would never have found on our own. The trip felt truly local and personalized. I highly recommend LLocalz to anyone wanting an authentic European experience.

Five-star rating graphic from customer review of a European ski trip with LLocalz

Working with the LLocalz team was so much fun! They took a trip that I was a bit panicked about planning and turned it into a great project. They broke down each step in the process and held my hand through booking flights, choosing hotels, and then piecing together an itinerary that matched our travel desires perfectly. Working with Denise and Wanda felt like having lunch with friends but at the end we had an amazing trip planned and booked!
