Ski Holidays

An average ski holiday could cost anything from £500 to £2000+ per person for a ski package that includes flights, transfers to resort and accommodation. Then you need to add on your ski extras – ski lift pass (£200-300), ski or snowboard hire (£100-150) and lessons or childcare, if required. Prices for ski extras will depend on your chosen ski resort – larger resorts tend to be more expensive.

There are many ways to cut down the costs of a ski holiday, like choosing a smaller/better-value ski resort, travelling outside of peak dates, picking a self-catered apartment and making the most of early booking offers.

Hopefully, this gives you a better understanding of the costs involved in booking a ski holiday. The ski experts at SNO can help you choose and book every aspect of your holiday.

Planning a ski holiday can be a daunting task when there are so many factors to consider. When searching for a ski holiday, there are several things that you need to think about:

• Group size – The number of adults and children travelling (work out the children's ages at time of travel as prices may vary)
• Travel dates – Are you travelling in the school holidays? Or prefer to keep it cheap and ski at off-peak times? Standard ski packages are seven nights long, departing on either Saturday or Sunday. Travelling for a shorter time or during the week will limit the availability of some resorts and properties.
• Choosing the perfect ski resort – It is good to know if there is a specific country that you want to travel to and the abilities of your group to make sure the ski area is suitable – we wouldn't want a group of beginners to go to a resort full of steep slopes!
• Accommodation type and key features – Would you prefer a chalet, hotel or apartment? Do you expect your accommodation to have any essential features like a hot tub, location close to the slopes or childcare facilities?
• Your budget – once you start researching, you will get an idea of how much your ideal ski holiday would be. If it's more expensive than expected, you may have to be more flexible with your travel dates, choice of resort or accommodation type.

Once you have decided on these, you will be able to start searching online for your perfect holiday. Being flexible with your preferences will help you save money. Talking to a ski holiday agent, like SNO, will help you narrow down the choices and align your priorities with the costs.

The choice of activities on a winter holiday is immense. The main activity of a ski holiday is, obviously, skiing or snowboarding, but ski holidays can be for non-skiers too! Non-skiers are more than welcome to go for a week away in the mountains, staying in a cosy chalet and enjoying the fresh alpine air. Ski resorts can have exquisite restaurants, trendy spas, swimming pools, ice skating rinks, walking trails, husky sledding, snowmobiling, tobogganing and much more! Everything that you could imagine for a wonderful winter holiday. Check out our top resorts for non-skiers.

We also offer winter holidays to Lapland and special Lapland Santa Breaks. In Lapland, you can stay in a traditional lodge or a contemporary spa hotel and spend your week experiencing the most magical wonders – meet Santa, visit the Elves Village, stay in an Igloo, visit the Ice Hotel and go snowmobiling in search of the Northern Lights.

Buying your ski holiday as a package often includes unique discounts and added value extras, such as a rep service, personalised customer service and financial security that you wouldn't get with a DIY holiday. The key elements of your ski holiday – flights, transfers and accommodation, are typically run by the tour operator and are offered at a discounted rate.

Last-minute packages will be cheaper than a DIY package as flights tend to be more expensive or sell out close to departure. Package ski holidays can be less expensive if you are flexible with your travel dates and destination preferences. If you don't like the uncertainty of DIY packages or don't have the time to browse multiple sites and coordinate with the rest of your group, then a package holiday is for you!

You've come to the right place! SNO offers ski packages to thousands of properties in hundreds of ski resorts across the world.
