There is still time to get your family and friends together for a wonderful Christmas or New Year in the Alps. Remember, too, that the week after New Year sees less crowded pistes, so if you book then you can enjoy a more peaceful break.
Don’t forget to reserve your airport parking at least 24 hours before you go – this is especially important during peak holiday periods. If you’re flying from Gatwick, Cophall Parking has some offers just for Welove2ski viewers.
