Vacations are the best time to relax and enjoy time with your family and friends. Taking a break from your everyday routine can be a good excuse to engage in adventurous fun and spend quality time with your loved ones. I am a family guy who loves exploring new places with my family. My last vacation with family was in the Swiss Alps. Believe it or not, this was the best time of my life. My happiness knew no bounds when I saw those majestic snow capped mountains. To top it, I thoroughly enjoyed the skiing adventure on that chilly winter day.
Knowing the right time for some snow fun is a matter of concern, taking into consideration the risks involved.
The Ideal time of the Year for Skiing
This isn’t a tough task! Deciding about the best time for skiing adventure is not going to take much effort. All that is needed is a little research and you are ready to rock it this winter. With Christmas approaching you can pack your bags in advance and plan your vacation in full swing. Being well informed about the snow conditions, the package of the trip, and other minute details can help you overcome all obstacles. Moreover, a friend who is an expert or is a professional in this field can be an icing on the cake.
Give your family and kids the best of times this winter. Read on to know what and which time of the year is apt for you.
Week before Christmas
Planning to surprise your family with a pre-Christmas present? The time between mid December till Christmas Eve can be suitable for all those families with kids at home. Schools usually call it an off one week prior and hence organizing a ski trip at this point of time can be the right thing to do.
You might get some good offers too. Right from Hotels to Flight Tickets cost cheaper. Looking out for discounts during this time is a wise thing to do.
Celebrate Christmas and New Year Skiing with Family
Break the chain and celebrate Christmas Skiing downhill with your loved ones. However, places like the Alps have been receiving snow quite before Christmas. Hence, make your choices right. Places at higher altitudes can be a better location when you have skiing in mind. Pistes usually above 2,500m are capable of holding snow that falls after November.
All the late birds can enjoy late-booking discounts. Yes, this option can be a delightful surprise as mostly all resorts willingly offer discounts.
Christmas time also is a lot cheaper than New Year. There are many family ski packages that are affordable and makes sense. This is surely worth all the money you invest in such trips.
Best Time-February
Mid-Feb time has been going really well for the skiing Professionals and the tour and travel business. The slopes are bustling with families. Due to an exceptional snowfall that French Alps receive, this time of the year, the resorts often are expensive but never empty. With sky rocketing prices busy mountains covered densely with snow, mid-Feb can bring you happiness galore!
The first half of February brings in lot of options. You even have options of heaper accommodations, with self-catering apartments that offer privacy and flexibility. The second half of February works in the northern and midland parts. During this time the demand for skiing sport is lower comparatively and prices too are not that high.
Easter Week
Come Easter and all you think of is new beginnings. What better way to start than enjoying snow sports up in the hills with the family. Days are clear with the sun shining bright. However, this time of the year you need to be a little more careful for the resorts you are choosing. The prices can be higher as compared to February.
The best destinations for skiing after March are:
- Val Thorens, France
- Tignes, France
- Riksgransen, Sweden
- Are, Sweden
- Zermatt, Switzerland
- Saas Feed, Switzerland
- Livigno, Italy
These locations are located at higher altitudes and most are based by glaciers. Hence, you will find more snow even during the spring. Expand your knowledge about the ideal travel period for skiing by inquiring about the prices of the resorts and flights and book yourself and your family a season of unlimited fun.
