We’re about to have a bitterly cold spell in the Alps, according to our most recent snow report, so make sure you wrap up warm and wear plenty of layers when you next go skiing. This has been a sensational season so far, and it’s set to continue that way.
Although avalanche danger is moderate at the moment, make sure you stay safe: take local advice, book a qualified guide, and have all the necessary equipment with you before even considering leaving the marked piste.
As well as taking a look at the dozen deals below, it’s also worth checking the websites of the major tour operators. Don’t forget to reserve your airport parking at least 24 hours before you go – this is especially important during peak holiday periods such as February and Easter. If you’re flying from Gatwick, Cophall Parking has some offers just for Welove2ski viewers.
