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.

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.

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.
