As you will have read in our recent snow report, this weekend is seeing the start of cooler weather, and by Tuesday evening snow should be falling down to 300m. In other words, it’s going to be snowing all week everywhere in the Alps – so anyone on holiday there right now is in for a treat! Make sure you stay safe, though: take local advice and have all the necessary equipment with you before even considering leaving the marked piste.

If you’re feeling just a tiny bit jealous then why not grab yourself one of the many deals that are going at the moment? 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.

  • Any suggestion for about 3 nights in a resort about an hours drive away from Morzine? Like varied skiing. Happy with B & B or half board but just a short break before going onto Morzine. Thanks. Tina.
