Midsummer’s day is history…and the start of the season is less than 20 weeks away. Meanwhile there are still plenty of offers for summer in the Alps – which makes a great alternative to a beach holidays for active people who fancy some hiking or mountain biking, golf, tennis or swimming in a crystal clear lake.

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.
