If you're planning a luxury family ski vacation in Europe, the season generally runs from the end of November to April, depending on the exact location. School vacations, 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.

The exact cost of your luxury family ski vacation 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 vacation includes everything you need, can confirm your booking.
