Christmas Day and New Years Day both fall on a Monday this year, making travelling out to the Alps over the festive period a lot better than it was last year, when Saturday changeover day fell on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. So go ahead…what’s to stop you booking a traditional White Christmas in the Alps? Or how about a quick break in early December, or perhaps you’d like to plan your spring ski trip now?
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.
