Despite most Europeans not participating, I'd recommend anyone new moving to Europe do the same - find winter activities to participate in.
In the West, Europeans have a reputation (not sure if true) of being socially conservative - they don't talk to strangers and you can't easily make friends. I'd suggest that the most natural way of making friends in any environment is to find activities are fun - perhaps a little challenging - that the locals enjoy.
- badpun 4y agoI think more people in Europe don't find having random "friends" (that you can pick up at such activities) all that valueable. For example, as far as I know, there's no tradition in any European country of just sitting up at the bar and striking random conversations with strangers, like there is in US. We're much more about fewer, but deeper friendships, and don't mind solitude as much. There's way less extraversion in here than in the US for example. I'd say that, overall, we have a calmer and more thoughtful culture over here, whereas Americans love to be busy and frantic.
