What to consider when planning a snow holiday
If you are planning a ski holiday, especially your first, you might not know where to start and likely have a few questions. That’s where our Snow Holiday Experts come in. But first, here are a few things to consider to get the (snow) ball rolling on your winter getaway.
Pick your location
With so many incredible destinations to choose from, selecting the right resort can feel overwhelming. You probably have a picture in your mind already, but there’s more to think about. Do you want ski-in/skiout accommodation or a luxury boutique lodge? What are the ages and ability levels of the skiers? Are you after a laid-back mountain town or a buzzing après-ski scene?
Our top tip: talk to an expert. It’s the best way to find a resort that ticks all the boxes.
Rent your equipment
Taking your own gear can be a hassle and lugging it through airports and paying for excess baggage. Instead, consider renting the latest demo gear at your resort. We always recommend travelling with your own helmet and goggles.
Lessons & activities
We strongly suggest prebooking your lessons and activities, as spots fill up quickly. You don’t want to miss out on that essential ski lesson or a once-in-a-lifetime dog sled tour. At Travel&Co, we can take care of all these arrangements, often at discounted rates when booked in advance.
When to go
The Northern Hemisphere ski season typically runs from late November to April, though this varies slightly between resorts. Snow quality, pricing, and availability can change dramatically month to month, especially around peak holiday periods like Christmas and New Year’s, which often book out well in advance.
