The half term rush is over, ski resorts have a deeper base of snow in March and April than they do in December and January, with regular snowfalls expected well into April, especially in resorts with skiing above 1500 metres. The days are longer and sunnier, too. So soak up that vitamin D and enjoy the spring skiing.

As well as taking a look at the deals below, it’s also worth having a look at what the ski specialist travel agencies have on offer, such as SNO, Snowfinders and Ski in Luxury. Most of the major tour operators have ski holiday deals available throughout the winter, too.

Make sure you stay safe: take local advice, book a qualified guide, and have all the necessary equipment with you before even considering leaving the marked piste.

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 February and Easter. If you’re flying from Gatwick, Cophall Parking has some offers just for Welove2ski viewers.
