School holiday skiing
Published May 28, 2025
Keep ahead of the curve and make sure that you book early for winter. We are getting unprecedented demand for our catered chalets, so please don’t leave it too late to book. Do ask our team for a quote with your group free spaces (before they go too) and don’t miss out.
Our tip for the best value-for-money weeks (within school holidays) are: Mar 29, Apr 5 and Apr 12. April ‘25 had the most snowfall since records began in 1967, and has seen the best snowfall of the season for the past three years.
Pre Christmas getaway
This pre-Christmas week is always popular because slopes are quiet, there are no lift-queues and a festive feel is in the air. And the best bit is that prices are less expensive too! Our chalets and hotels start from only £347, catered (for now!) . You ‘ll get almost the same experience for about half the cost of the more expensive Christmas week, just because demand is less.

The traditional Christmas week
Christmas skiing promises a magical time for all the family and our chalets are full of festive cheer, decorated with Christmas trees and all the trimmings our Christmas gala menu is a special treat… Or, try a hotel if you’re a couple or a smaller group or family. Our catered chalets start from only £598 with current promotions

New Year (8 day special)
Our New Year week runs Saturday Dec 27 to Sunday Jan 3… so you’ll get 8 nights for the price of 7.. We are the only holiday company to offer this, so our New Year holidays are in pretty high demand and are 75% full at the time of writing. We do still have spaces and we’ll top up your lift pass and ski hire for the extra day, for the standard public price.

Half term
Feb half term is the date to watch as prices for flights always go UP as the date nears and demand rises. Try to book no later than September if you can. There is rarely such a thing as a late deal for this week nowadays.
You can make savings by self-driving, pre-booking family lift passes and ski hire (with us) and we also give some free spaces in chalets, (if you are quick), but only for early bookings .
Top Tip: Travel at Easter instead of February for greater savings and [historically] better snow and of course quieter slopes.

Easter - March 29th
Join us during the Good Friday week, the first week of the school holidays and the more expensive of the three Easter weeks. Historically, in April 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 these late March and Easter weeks have had the best snowfall of the season. Even better - prices are lower and the slopes are much quieter and this is why We Love April Skiing!
Mar 29 - Apr 5 >
Easter - April 5th
Easter is a great time to go skiing and in this easter Monday week it’s a snip of the price of the Feb half term. Also, over the last 4 winters, April has produced the best snow conditions of the season, with guaranteed skiing until April 30th in all our resorts. If in doubt, then go high altitude to a premium French resort where the slopes are looked after well. We’d recommend: La Plagne, Tignes or Les 3 Vallees. We have catered chalets for all budgets in these premium resorts.
April 5-12 >
Easter - April 12th
This, the final Easter week is an absolute gem! Ski high and you’ll not only hav ethe place to yourself, but you’ll have good snow and almost no lift queues. The sun shines and the atmosphere is less stressed and very pleasant. April has always produced some of the best snow conditions of the season, with guaranteed skiing until April 30th in all our ski resorts. If in doubt, then go high altitude - but only to a premium French resort where the slopes are looked after well. Our ski resorts.
