Half term ski holidays

Packages for February half term sell like hot cakes, so if something catches your eye, there’SNO time like the present to get in touch and book it up. We’ll need things like guest names and contact details, then a deposit to secure the booking (or often the full balance if you’re booking after mid-November).

Half term is the most popular week of the ski season, so the earlier you book, the greater the choice of holidays. If you have your heart set on a particular accommodation or specific resort, the earlier you secure it, the better. For last minute planners, holidays are usually available right up until week before half term - you’ll just need to be more open minded about your travel, accommodation and destination.

Our half term ski deals include packages with savings on equipment hire, lift passes and more, giving you some tremendous bang for your buck.

• Meribel – for a homely British atmosphere
• La Rosiere – for quaint villages and family-friendly slopes
• Sestriere – for lower prices and awesome pizzas
• Soll – for Austrian charm and lots of skiing
• St Anton – for challenging runs and legendry apres ski

February has a good track record of being the snowiest month in most ski resorts. While we can never guarantee the weather, you should find that there’s plenty of the white fluffy stuff to enjoy, especially in our most snow sure resorts.

• Soldeu & El Tarter
• Bansko
• Sestriere
• Livigno
• Les Deux Alpes

Often the cheapest packages are for self-catered apartments, so you’ll have to add the cost of buying food and drink. An all inclusive package sometimes works out better overall value. Prices could also be lower if you opt to self-drive instead of fly. See our cheap ski page and search available holidays using your half term dates.

• Extra capacity in childcare, kids clubs and ski schools
• Fun family events like quizzes, live music and ski shows
• Offers on family experiences such as husky sledding and snowmobile tours
• Family ski tours with ski guides
• Freestyle competitions for teens
• Free child spaces (on select packages).

• France - Meribel
• Switzerland - Zermatt
• Austria - St Anton
• Italy - Sestriere

These are some of our favourites, find our top 10 here.

• USA - Jackson Hole, Winter Park or Aspen often get their best snow in mid-February.
• Canada - Mont Tremblant, Whistler and Lake Louise pull out all the stops to give adults and children alike a smashing time. There aren’t Canadian school holidays in February so you should enjoy a good amount of space on the slopes.

Niseko and Sahoro are fabulous in February.

Italian resorts like Livigno and Sestriere tend to be less populated as Italian’s don’t have school holidays in February. They’re just as well-kitted out with fun activities as other popular half-term resorts. If you’re looking to head to France, La Rosiere is a quieter choice than the big-name resorts.

Chalet hotels and larger chalets have sociable dining and hotels with bars are a good place to make ski buddies. Pick a lively resort like Val d’Isère or Chamonix where there will be plenty of events and activities to get involved in.
