If you have school-aged children and feel you must go skiing right now, there’s still a chance to grab a ski deal for half term! As you will have seen from our recent snow reports, snow has been falling at altitude across the northern Alps. It’s even started snowing in the Dolomites this morning, so there should be plenty of snow when you go.
We’ve also included some spring skiing deals here, and an early deal for 2018!
As well as taking a look at these deals below, it’s also worth checking the websites of the major tour operators. Make sure you stay safe: take local advice and have all the necessary equipment with you before even considering leaving the marked piste.
If you’re flying from Gatwick, don’t forget to reserve your airport parking at least 24 hours before you go. Cophall Parking has some offers especially for Welove2ski readers.
