Starting to think about your ski holiday for next season? Winter offers are coming in now, so keep an eye on this page if you’re looking to find a good ski deal. And if you miss the mountains but can’t wait for the season to start then why not book a last-minute summer holiday in the Alps? It makes a good alternative to beach holidays for active people who like the idea of some hiking or mountain biking, golf, tennis or swimming in a cool 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.
