You will notice that all our chosen resorts for 2008 either have very northerly locations or offer High Altitude skiing and / or glacier access.
At Alpine Elements we cannot guarantee snow, but it is our mission to endeavour to get all guests skiing, whatever the weather! All our resorts are chosen for their reliable snow records and high altitude status, and 90% of our resorts have the benefit of access to glaciers which ensure snow almost all year round.
Snow conditions can change dramatically overnight, so if conditions are exceptionally poor then we will do our best to change you to another resort, and this will be done at the last minute.
Furthermore, when you book an Alpine Elements holiday then we will arrange for transport to another ski area with more than 20% of the runs open if the lift company and ski school decide you are not able to ride or ski the area or resort in which you are staying*
Transport will be arranged to a local resort where skiing/riding is deemed better than in your own resort, and which is less than 2.5 hour drive away. This will be subject to the resort allowing additional skiers.
Our Snow Assurance only covers skiers and snowboarders, it does not cover cross-country skiers. It does not cover lifts not being open due to high winds, adverse weather or too much snow!
In some cases the alternative resort might be in another country. In order to take advantage of this option then non UK nationals must make sure that they comply with the local passport regulations for the country where the alternative resort might be located. *In-house vehicles will be free of charge but any subcontracted vehicles may incur extra local costs.
Resort Opening
Please be aware that pre Dec 22nd and post April 15th weeks may have a limited lifts situation in some of the lower resorts. Please check with the Tourist Offices direct for updates information.
