3. Alpine Centre, Bottrop, Germany
The Alpine Centre is built on a slagheap in the middle of an industrial district in north-west Germany. Bottrop may not be pretty on the outside but, just like a donut or a gun pointed at your head, it’s what’s inside that counts. This 640 meter ski hall is the longest indoor slope in the world and is just begging for a visit from Jamie Barrow to see if he can smash the indoor speed record he set on the 520m piste in Snow World, Holland. Bottrop also has its own fun park (unfortunately closed for the summer) serviced by the world’s longest indoor flying carpet.
