Ski Weekends &
Short Breaks

Absolutely. If you’re short on annual leave or want a quick trip to the mountains, a ski weekend is the perfect solution. Our short break ski resorts have been carefully selected thanks to their speedy transfers and snow reliability. Enjoy a tailor-made, four-night package, which typically departs on a Thursday and returns on a Monday, giving you plenty of time on the slopes.

Our guide to the best ski weekend resorts has everything you need to decide on the perfect destination for your trip. Whether it be charming Courmayeur, a Scandinavian adventure to Voss, or even a hidden gem such as Engelberg; our best-selling ski weekends are just a 90-minute transfer from the airport.

Not got enough time for a week away? Limited on annual leave? Or, do you just want another quick ski fix this season? A ski weekend is the solution. The resorts and accommodations that make up our tailor-made short breaks programme have been curated thanks to their unrivalled proximity to the slopes, as well as quick transfers from the airport.

It’s often said that you can get the ski ‘bug’ in just three or four days – we certainly believe it. With ski lessons typically running for two to three hours in the morning, leaving you time to explore in the afternoon (or perhaps retiring for the après!), a weekend could be the perfect introduction to the world of skiing. It’s also a great alternative for families who sometimes might not want a full-week in the mountains, particularly those with much younger children that tire more easily.

Packing for a ski weekend is no different to what you’d take on a week-long trip, perhaps just with fewer pairs of socks! Our ski holiday packing list details all you need to bring on your trip to the mountains, from hitting the slopes right through to what to wear for comfortable après.

Departing on a Thursday, a quick flight and short transfer to your accommodation gets you to the slopes in no time. With the Italian Dolomites, French Alps and more at your fingertips, you can cover maximum terrain in minimum time, and even less chance of the sore legs that a week’s trip sometimes leaves you with!

Ski weekends are available throughout the season, however, they tend to be best-taken in January and March. These off-peak months usually have much better availability and you generally have a wider range of accommodation to choose from, as some hotels have minimum stay requirements during peak season dates, such as February Half Term.
