Most of the major tour operators have ski holiday deals available throughout the winter, too.
Make sure you pack plenty of sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to wear if you’re having lunch on a terrace at lunchtime.
stay safe: take local advice, book a qualified guide, and have all the necessary equipment with you before even considering leaving the marked piste.
Don’t forget to reserve your airport parking at least 24 hours before you go – this is especially important during peak holiday periods such as February and Easter. If you’re flying from Gatwick, Cophall Parking has some offers just for Welove2ski viewers.
