Short Ski Stays

Short ski stays can provide the perfect solution for many looking for a quick trip to the slopes, and directline-skiing can help find the ideal trip for you and your party. From a weekend experiencing the blacks in Chamonix, to a few scenic days in Megeve, a short ski stay will suit those who can't commit to a full week of skiing, either for financial reasons or time restraints, and die-hard skiers who just can't stay away from the slopes throughout the season.

 

With the wealth of resorts available, there's plenty of choice for a short ski stay, which can be a fantastic time to check out an unfamiliar or smaller ski area, and discover the joys of an unknown region. Thanks to the influx of budget airlines and low-cost fares available, there are plenty of choices for passengers, with recommended ski resorts for a short ski stay being those that are located close to the major airports, such as Geneva, Chambery and Grenoble in France, resulting in conveniently short transfers for would-be skiers and riders. Ideal resorts for a short ski stay from Geneva include Chamonix, Flaine, Morzine, Avoriaz, Les Gets and Megeve, whilst accessible resorts from Chambery feature Les Arcs, Courchevel, Meribel and La Plagne, with Les Deux Alpes, Alpe d'Huez and Serre Chevalier located close to Grenoble. Austria also offers a choice of ski resorts for a short ski stay, including Mayrhofen, Obergurgl, St Anton, Solden and Kitzbuhel, all close to Innsbruck, and St Johann, Saalbach, and Schladming from Salzburg. Italy can also be considered on a short ski stay, with resorts such as Sauze d'Oulx, Sestriere and Cervinia a short transfer from Turin airport.

 

Package skiing holidays remain the cheapest and most convenient way to book your trip, with many companies out there offering short ski stays and ski weekends. Most offer short ski stays with departures leaving local and regional airports on Thursday, leaving guests free to ski on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and returning on Monday. Accommodation on a short ski stay can vary, from basic self-catering in studios and apartments, to a fully-catered luxury ski weekend in a cosy mountain chalet.
