January skiing
If you want low season prices along with high season snow our ski holidays in January 2026 are just the ticket. Skiing early in the year means prices are lower than those of February ski holidays, but you can be fairly confident of more snow than skiing in December or March. Use the "Sort by" function to see the cheapest January ski deals and make sure you add your preferred airport and dates to filter the huge range of January skiing so you can see the packages most relevant to you.
January is the perfect time to find a bargain in the world's top resorts like Meribel, Verbier and Val d'Isere, because it's not quite high season but it is mid-winter, so the snow will likely be superb. If you ski January and want to stay on the snow all day its worth considering the sunnier resorts on Italian ski holidays where the ski weather can be a milder, or choose a resort like Chamonix where you can ski sheltered treelines on wild and windy days or cruise in the sunshine on the easy reds and blues of Le Tour at the top of the valley.
