The 2015-16 ski season will be over in a month’s time, but there’s still time to take advantage of the decent snow, especially up at 1800m or above, and on the north-facing slopes. Things are looking good for the the Easter holidays, with skiing conditions enjoyable everywhere, but the weather is changeable and spring is slowly beginning to creep up the mountain…

A few offers for summer in the Alps are beginning to come in and soon it will be time to start planning for next season. We will be continuing our Deals page throughout the summer – with offers for next season as well as for summer hiking, biking and watersports in the Alps.

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.
