March Ski Holidays

March Ski Holidays - Excellent historical snow in many European resorts 

March ski holidays are always extremely popular with all manner of skiers, whether they are singles, couples, groups or families. This month sometimes sees the highest amount of snowfall in many European resorts, with March ski holidays also bringing wonderful mild weather along with reliable conditions in most of the high-altitude resorts. Days can be varied and unpredictable, with warm spring-like days followed by crisp mornings at sub-zero temperatures, and plenty of fluffy powder on the upper slopes. March ski holidays can feature long mild days with an abundance of sunshine, with skiers generally guaranteed warmer weather and comfortable skiing conditions.

 

Ski Holidays In March - Easter holidays, popular time to hit the slopes 

For British families, March ski holidays are very much in demand, as the Easter break usually falls within this month. For those looking for a winter getaway during the holidays, a March ski holiday is an ideal choice, with plenty of great ski centres in Europe offering a wealth of options, and a large number of family-friendly ski resorts providing excellent tuition, facilities and non-skier activities. A March ski holiday can be more expensive, especially when it does coincide with the school holidays, but the beginning of the month sees cheaper prices and less crowded slopes. Be aware that many of the European countries have school holidays at different times from us, with a March ski holiday being popular with families from France, for example, and meaning packed town centres and busy slopes. For those who don't mind longer flights or are looking at spending more than a week away, consider a March ski holiday in North America or Canada for guaranteed conditions, excellent value for money, and the chance to experience fantastic shopping, dining and a unique après-ski scene.

March Ski Holidays - Head for high-altitude resorts for guaranteed conditions 

For a late March ski holiday, head to a resort known for its high-altitude slopes, such as Tignes, Val d'Isere, Zermatt or Cervinia for excellent snow coverage and guaranteed conditions. If not, select a resort with extensive snowmaking facilities, as the spring sunshine and changeable weather can result in deteriorating conditions on a skiing holiday in March.
