One of the editors of Welove2ski was in Flaine a few days ago, and the snow was pretty good there – especially high up and in the local Flaine ‘bowl’. If you’re thinking of fitting in a last-minute break to the Alps, look no further than this page for a great skiing deal and, with some holidays including free rooms, lift passes and ski hire for children aged up to 18 years. This Easter could be a great time to go and enjoy the slopes.

Don’t forget to reserve your airport parking at least 24 hours before you leave – this is especially important during the 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.
