As you can see from our latest snow report, conditions in the Alps are now quite spring-like, and you’ll need to be especially vigilant off-piste. Across the northern Alps, in particular, the avalanche risk is now considerable, so don’t even think about skiing the back country without an experienced local guide to help keep you safe.

If you fancy some spring skiing, take a look at our latest ski deals below – and 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 the Easter holidays. If you’re flying from Gatwick, Cophall Parking has some offers just for Welove2ski viewers.
