16 Best Ski Holiday Deals

It’s snowing! In Val Thorens (where one of our editors has been staying in the ski-in ski-out Hotel Altapura) and elsewhere in the Trois Vallees it’s been snowing constantly for 24 hours and it doesn’t look like stopping any time soon. It’s the same story in Val d’Isere and elsewhere in the Alps (see our Snow Forecast for more details).

It’s all good news for half term, and if you haven’t made up your mind yet you’ll be pleased to hear that oodles of offers are still available. And for those who aren’t tied to the school holidays, prices drop by as much as 45% after half term.

To have a reasonable choice of where to stay, when to go and how to get there this winter, it makes sense to book as soon as you can. In our weekly post we feature the top ski deals available from a variety of tour operators. Make sure you also check out the offers pages on tour operator websites, and don’t forgot the likes of Go Ski ifyouski.com, igluski.com, Ski Solutions, Sno, and Snowfinders.
