Ski Season 2026

Skiing with Seriously Good Travel means access to the finest resorts across Europe and beyond. The destinations below represent some of our favourite locations - a sample of the best the Alps have to offer. Whether you’re looking for world-class skiing, exclusive chalets, luxury hotels or a tailor-made itinerary, we can arrange it. We book ski holidays to any resort worldwide, delivering a seamless, personalised experience from first enquiry to your return home.

Val-d'Isere

Val-d’Isère sits high in the French Alps, close to the Italian border, and shares the slopes with Tignes as part of the renowned Espace Killy ski area. Expect access to challenging terrain - including the steep, black-rated Face de Bellevarde - plus glacier-sourced skiing on the Grande Motte. When you’re off the slopes, the town delivers a lively alpine atmosphere, with a good choice of bars and restaurants centred on Avenue Olympique.

Zermatt

Zermatt sits at about 1,600 m in Switzerland’s Valais region, nestled directly beneath the iconic Matterhorn. It combines serious alpine terrain with a charming village ambience - think boutique shops, mountain-view hotels, and a strong après scene along Bahnhofstrasse. For a change of pace, the resort also offers outdoor ice-skating and curling rinks.

Verbier

Verbier blends world-class off-piste terrain with a sophisticated, upscale resort atmosphere. Favoured by seasoned skiers, boarders - and the occasional celebrity - it offers challenging snow, high-end accommodation, and a stylish, lively village vibe. Ideal for skiers who want both serious runs and a refined après-ski experience.

Chamonix

Chamonix lies at the foot of Europe’s highest peak, Mont Blanc, and straddles the junction of France, Switzerland, and Italy. A network of cable cars - including the famous Aiguille du Midi and Pointe Helbronner lines - delivers ski access and panoramic Alpine views all year round. Perfect for experienced skiers, mountain lovers and those drawn by dramatic scenery.

Courchevel

Courchevel occupies a privileged position in the French Alps, offering immaculate slopes and mountain scenery. It blends excellent skiing with genuine luxury — fine dining, elegant lodgings and high-end amenities. Well suited to travellers who value comfort and quality as much as skiing performance.

Saint Anton am Arlberg

St. Anton am Arlberg - often described as the birthplace of Alpine skiing - firmly earns its reputation. From its Tyrolean village base, lifts and cable cars provide access to extensive terrain around Valluga and Rendl. After a day on the slopes, the resort’s energetic après-ski scene delivers a spirited finish.

Meribel

Meribel lies at the heart of the world’s largest connected ski area - perfect for long days of skiing. It combines reliable snow with charming chalet-style lodging, relaxed village atmosphere and a classic après-ski vibe. A resort many return to, year after year.

Tignes

Tignes ranks among the highest and most extensive resorts in the Alps - and remains a top choice for British skiers. Its snow-sure Grande Motte glacier and the 300 km of linked terrain (in partnership with Val-d’Isère) make it hard to beat for consistency and variety. The resort spans five villages, offering options for all tastes and budgets - from lively Le Lac and ski-in/ski-out Val Claret to quieter Le Lavachet or budget-friendly spots like Les Boisses and Les Brévières.
