Ideas For Your Skiing Holiday

Once people ski they seem to get hooked, which is exactly what has happened to some of us at The Travel Team. Below we give our ski hints & tips as well as our favourite ski destinations.

Accommodation
There is a wide range of accommodation to choose from when you go skiing, and we can recommend the best type to suit the needs of your party. You may be looking for a 5* luxury property with extensive facilities, or a small family run hotel with home cooked food. There are chalets which you can book just for your group, and many resorts have properties where you can ski to the door.

Book early
February Half Term, Christmas and New Year are the peak dates for skiing, and people book up almost a year in advance, so don’t miss out and leave it too late for your chosen resort and date.

Pick the right resort
Ski resorts can offer everything from gentle slopes, to challenging runs, hectic nightlife, or quiet mountain bars, luxury spa facilities, ice skating rinks, shopping and much more. We will match your individual requirements to the right resort for your party.

Pre book ski extras
Booking in advance means you can budget better for your holiday, and it also ensures you get the right equipment and lift passes you need, without the hassle of queuing in resort; this especially saves time at peak periods.

Get fit
Being fit for your ski holiday will make the enjoyment much better for you, also if you have never skied before, try some lessons before hand at a local dry ski slope or indoor snow dome to get to grips with the basics.

Ski Tuition
Whether you’re a complete beginner, or have skied many times there are always ways to improve your skills, and in nearly all ski resorts the ski and snowboarding schools offer professional and friendly ski instructors to assist you, and allow you to make the most of your ski holiday.
