Ski Europe

Popular for many decades, a ski Europe holiday continues to attract hordes of skiers to their preferred resorts, whether in France, Andorra, Austria and Switzerland, for their classic winter holiday on the slopes. Despite the increasing availability of flights across the Atlantic to world-famous resorts in areas such as Colorado in the USA and British Columbia in Canada, many skiers stay loyal to their favourite spots, and head off to ski Europe during the winter. Lured by attractive prices, cosy chalets, accessible resorts, short flights and, above all, excellent conditions, ski Europe remains the number one choice for British skiers each season.

 

To ski Europe is a complete experience, from the picturesque Alpine backdrops to the leisurely mountain lunches, that many skiers look forward to each year. The types of ski Europe holidays are vast, and cater to all levels of skier, traveller type and budget. Favourite destinations for a ski Europe holiday include the Three Valleys and Portes du Soleil in France, home to world-famous resorts such as Courchevel, Meribel and Avoriaz, as well as traditional Austrian centres such as Kitzbuhel, Soll and Saalbach. Switzerland is known for its stunning backdrops, with a ski Europe holiday featuring stylish resorts such as Zermatt, Saas Fee and Verbier, whilst a laid-back relaxed Italian base for a ski Europe trip could include resorts in the Dolomites or Milky Way, such as Selva or Cervinia. Ski Europe can cater to all budgets, with a value ski holiday available in Andorra in the Pyrenees, and resorts such as Soldeu and Pas de la Casa, or at ski centres such as Bansko and Kranjska Gora in Bulgaria or Slovenia. At the other end of the price range, ski Europe features luxury ski holidays including prestigious centres such as St. Moritz, Gstaad and Crans-Montana in the Swiss Alps, or Megeve and Val d'Isere over in France.  

 

A ski Europe holiday can mean a long relaxed break with the family, or a snatched weekend away booked at the very last minute, thanks to the accessibility of ski resorts from the UK. With a huge number of flights leaving regional airports all over to country to destinations such as Geneva, Lyon, Salzburg, Innsbruck and Turin, flying off to ski Europe is easier than ever, with convenient options for self-drive and ski train trips also available. From the quaint charm of the picture-postcard Swiss resorts to the rustic Tyrolean ambience of the Austrian Alps, the character and charm of a ski Europe holiday continues to attract visitors, with the apres-ski scene and cosy ambience really adding to their trip.
