Now that the peak holiday week is over, if you haven’t opted to ski at this time of year maybe you’re considering a week of spring skiing? As well as taking a look at the dozen deals below, it’s also worth checking the websites of the major tour operators.
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.
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.
