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 - 16th December, 2024
Today's warmer temps and sunny bluebird skies will be followed by the arrival of the first of two robust, fast-moving storms on Thursday through Sunday. This will dump plenty of white stuff across the French, Swiss, and Austrian Alps. Think Courmayeur in Italy, St Anton in Austria, and Tignes in France.
Over the next six days, the Swiss resorts of Engelberg, Lauterbrunnen, and Meiringen will see the most abundant snowfall, with a whopping 50-74cm at high altitudes. This will continue throughout the festive period, just in time for the big man's arrival on that all-important 25th.
We recommend sticking with the Alps for the last-minute Christmas ski holidays for reliable snow and top-tier skiing. Think Courchevel and Val d'isere in France, Verbier and Zermatt in Switzerland, and Austria's Lech-Zurs and Ischgl.
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!
