It’s just over a month between now and the beginning of the European ski season. So if you haven’t started doing your holiday research already, now is the time to get going!
Apart from the offers we’ve listed below, most of them still for the Christmas week, it’s also worth checking for ski deals on the websites of the major operators and having a look at what the ski specialist travel agencies have on offer at the moment.
Don’t forget to reserve your airport parking at least 24 hours before you go – especially important during peak holiday periods. If you’re flying from Gatwick, Cophall Parking has some offers just for Welove2ski readers.
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.
