Get rid of those post-election blues by booking yourself a summer week in the Alps…It’s worth noting that accommodation costs less at this time of year than during the ski season – with walkers’ and bikers’ lift passes a lot cheaper than the winter prices.

And if you are thinking ahead…then scroll down the page to see our early winter deals in France, Italy and Canada.

Don’t forget to reserve your airport parking at least 24 hours before you go – this is especially important during peak holiday periods whether in the summer or winter. If you’re flying from Gatwick, Cophall Parking has some offers just for Welove2ski viewers.
