The most flexible ski holidays, made easy. Let's go.
Christmas ski holidays
There's nothing like waking up on Christmas Day surrounded by snow-laden trees. Christmas in the mountains is like no-other; from the breathtaking views to the joy of being served a festive dinner that you didn't have to cook yourself. It's all the fun and none of the hard-work.
If you're not sure where to start, try our Christmas ski holiday blog which gives you a full run down of our top picks for the best ski resorts for Christmas.
Or if you're ready to starting searching, just pop your preferred dates into our search - you might want to filter by 'high altitude' to make sure you get the best of early season snow.
Best ski resorts for Christmas
With dazzling firework displays, giant ice sculptures, and appearances from the big man himself, Val D'Isere turns on the festive vibe in epic proportions. You'll discover another whimsical winter wonderland at Les Gets and there are few towns that looks as magical at Christmas as Megeve, with horse-drawn sleighs gliding through snowy meadows, and ice figurines recreating nativity tales. And we can't leave Chamonix off the list when it comes to France - with ice caves, Christmas markets, street parades, and a torchlit ski procession.
Away from the French Alps, try Zell Am See in Austria, home to one of the best Christmas markets in Europe. And our final recommendation is Zermatt, Switzerland. We're talking traditional Swiss chalets, horse-drawn sleighs, lake ice-skating, and magnificent views of the mighty Matterhorn. Sigh.
