WHEN TO
The initial question you need to ask yourself when it comes to booking any holiday is when do I want to travel? The ski season in Europe runs from the middle of December through to the middle of April, with each month offering up some fantastic reasons to choose it for a family ski holiday.

December can be a fantastic time to pack up the family and get away from it all with some incredible skiing. With seasonal festivities in full swing and plenty of other family-friendly activities on offer, December is a great option for family skiing.
In December you can:
Ski the first week of the season and get into the Christmas spirit before returning home to enjoy the festivities. All resorts are decorated for Christmas and it offers some great value skiing.
If you prefer a quieter family skiing holiday then January is an ideal month as it tends to be less busy on the slopes – this is perfect for families with inexperienced skiers who want to spend some quality time together.
In January you can:
Enjoy the quieter season meaning shorter queue times for lifts, fewer people on the slopes and a more peaceful, tranquil atmosphere in the resorts.
Experience great snow conditions. January in any of our resorts should practically guarantee brilliant skiing conditions.
Enjoy fantastic value for money – the January weeks tend to be among the cheapest for accommodation so you can enjoy all the luxury and comforts of a beautiful ski chalet at a very reasonable price.
Head out for a magical Christmas week! Enjoy a family Christmas in the mountains. Let someone else cook the turkey while you work up an appetite on the slopes before relaxing by the fire in your chalet while someone else does the washing up!
Welcome in the new year from the comfort of a family chalet in the heart of the French Alps. Few New Year’s resolutions can rival “I’ll start the year with a ski and then have lunch at a mountain restaurant”. Set the tone for how you mean to go on!
