What Our Guests Have Said

Meet Our Winter Travel Expert

Miranda Bird

Europe Specialist

My love of travel began at a young age with multiple family trips to Europe and beyond. At the age of 19 I was lucky enough to spend 6 months travelling around Southeast Asia, Australia and volunteering in Peru, experiencing a wide range of fascinating cultures and meeting some wonderful people along the way. I had well and truly caught the bug.

  • When's the best time to go on a family ski holiday?

    If you're planning a luxury family ski holiday in Europe, the season generally runs from the end of November to April, depending on the exact location. School holidays, including New Year and February half-term, are popular times to hit the slopes, especially among those with younger children.

    Most resorts enjoy their best conditions in January and February, with a higher chance of fresh snowfall. However, March and April often offer sunny, clear days that are ideal for panoramic mountain views.

    The most snow-sure resorts are typically at higher altitudes, with Val Thorens, the highest in Europe, providing great skiing and snowboarding conditions from November to May.

    You'll also find extended snow seasons further afield, with Canadian and American resorts offering superb snow from November to May.

  • How much are luxury family ski holidays?

    The exact cost of your luxury family ski holiday depends on your chosen resort and itinerary. Our tailored-made ski breaks start at around £5,000 per person. Our ski travel specialists will let you know exactly how much your selected trip will cost and, once you're happy your holiday includes everything you need, can confirm your booking.
