- Easily search last minute ski trips in the 'next two weeks'
- Find the best snow right now with our 'snow conditions' filter
A last minute ski holiday can be a great way to guarantee great snow or even find a late ski bargain. Of course, there's always more choice the earlier you search, but if you have a bit of flexibility on dates or resorts, a last minute ski package can be a winner.
So if you're the spontaneous type (we see you), hoping for a steal, or want to take advantage of a late dump of snow - we're here to make it happen.
Top tip: Because prices can go up as well as down, if you see something at a price you like, it's best to snap it up!
Where's the best snow right now?
Snow Report - 20/01/25
Fresh powder is eagerly preparing to blanket the Alps again this week, with a promising forecast of moderate to heavy dumps across the southwest today. The southern French Alps and resorts on the French/Italian border are poised to be the prime beneficiaries of these early flurries, with a substantial 25-50cm expected at Isola 2000, Serre Chevalier, and Les Deux Alpes. Further north, the Italian Alps will still see a fantastic 10-20cm, think Bardonecchia, Courmayeur, Sauze d'Oulx, and Sestriere in the Via Lattea.
Thursday brings a north-westerly wind shift, with a moderate to heavy 15-40cm of fresh snow expected in the northern French Alps at Chamonix, Tignes, and Val d'Isère. Meanwhile, high-altitude resorts in Switzerland and western Austria will see 10-20cm, think Engelberg, Kaprun, and Lech Zürs.
Planning a last-minute ski trip? We recommend checking out the already snow-packed Avoriaz, Alpe d'Huez, or Val Thorens.
Last Minute Ski Holidays by 'holiday type'
High Altitude
High altitude resorts have the best snow and arguably, the best views.
Being more snow sure has clear advantages, but high altitude resorts also tend to be colder, so wrap-up, stay hydrated and keep the snacks coming!

How close to my ski holiday can I book ski lessons through Heidi?
Ski lessons are subject to availability, so if you are booking a last minute ski holiday for a busy period such as half term, ski schools might already be at max capacity. It's worth checking in advance if this is important to you.
Any tips for booking a last minute group ski holiday?
If you are booking for a group we recommend letting the lead booker make a decision quickly. Trust them to snap up a ski holiday without too much back and forth as you could miss out on accommodation that can fit everyone in.
Is there anything else I should know about last minute ski holidays?
If you find a deal that you love, act quickly. Flight prices tend to rise quickly as the seats fill up, and accommodation providers usually have limited stock. If you can be flexible with your preferences, you might just find a hidden gem resort that you’d never considered before.
