Imagine spending New Year’s Eve in the mountains, complete with fireworks and lots of fun apres-ski? Some of these last-minute offers might tempt you, but to have a chance of finding decent snow when you get there, make sure you aim for a high resort.
It’s also worth checking for offers on the websites of the major tour operators.
Don’t forget to reserve your airport parking at least 24 hours before you go – especially important during peak holiday periods. If you’re flying from Gatwick, Cophall Parking has some offers just for Welove2ski viewers.
Due to readers’ requests, we now also have our ski holiday prices in euros (with the exchange rate correct at the time of writing), although you should contact tour operators direct for a quote that doesn’t include travel from the UK.
