Last Minute Ski Holidays - Choosing the resort to suit your needs
Time may be one of the biggest factors when booking a last minute ski holiday but with numerous cheap flights leaving the UK to Europe’s top skiing destinations several times a day, it has never been easier to be on the slopes within hours of booking. Ski resorts in France, Italy, Germany, Scandinavia and Switzerland are all but a few hours away and are great if you wish to have a getaway break. For a short break they have the advantage over the US and Canada as there will be very little time change to deal with and jet lag will not be a problem.

Last Minute Ski Holidays - The peak seasons
When booking a last minute ski holiday bear in mind that some seasons will be busier and so, more expensive.  Christmas and the New Year, February and March are the peak seasons, and the resorts will be very busy, it may be easier to find a last minute ski holiday in the low seasons of January and April.  The summer months can still provide some good snow and glacier skiing.  Summer resorts include Tignes in France, Kaprun in Austria, Zermatt in Switzerland, Whistler in Canada and Mount Hood in the US.
