These dates are a guideline only, so if you are planning to book your ski holiday please check for the latest updated information, as the opening dates are subject to change. As always, opt for the high altitude resorts in the early or late season to ensure snow covered slopes. If you’re booking an early or late season ski holiday, please note that not all facilities in resort may be open and that includes some ski lifts. Some resorts may open earlier than stated opening dates, if snow conditions are very good.
There are some great ski deals available now in the French Alps for you to book, whether you choose to drive or fly. The earlier you book the better savings you will make. Why not opt for a Christmas and New Year break, in a delightful ski resort and take advantage of the early snow and festive celebrations at the same time. This is a magical time for children and families and makes for a super break.
