 We've booked flights but now need to find accommodation?

It can be very difficult to find short stay accommodation in the alps.

However, please try our accommodation only search where you can search by the night and book online. This search is best for holidays starting on a Saturday/Sunday and lasting for a week. However in the lates season it may still be cheaper to book an apartment for 2 weeks that will cover your long weekend than pay for an expensive hotel by the night. Apartments and accommodation only hotline: 0870 739 9399

 How can I get from the airport to resort?

If you are looking for transfers to resort then check out resort transfer section where you can find transport information for many resorts. Here you will find contacts for bus and train transfers.

If you are part of a group then it may be cheaper to either rent a car or book a taxi. You can expect bus transfers to cost up to £40 each way.

Top Tip - book early outward flights and late inbound flights so you have plenty of time to get there and back.

 Where can I get good ski/snowboard insurance?

We highly recommend that you buy ski and travel insurance as soon as you book your holiday so that you are covered for cancellation immediately.

The Ski Club of Great Britian has some of the most comprehensive snowsports insurance cover on the market - with on and off piste skiing and snowboarding (with or without a guide), snow parks, cross country skiing, ski touring, heli skiing, recreational racing, snow shoeing, dog sledding, bob sleighing, ice skating, curling, parapenting and tobogganing – all included as standard.

 Should I pre-book my ski/board rental and liftpasses before I go?

This covers lift passes, ski equipment hire and lessons. You can only pre-book ski packs through certain tour operators. To see if it is possible to do with your choice of holiday package please contact our sales team. If the company operating your chosen holiday do not offer this option there will be a service provided on the transfer coach when the representatives will take ski-pack bookings. You can pay by cash or credit card (there may be a small surcharge for cards) and they will deliver your passes to your accommodation and organise lessons and a suitable time slot for you to visit the nearest ski-hire shop to minimise the waiting time. Some tour operators even offer in-chalet ski and boot fittings.

Alternatively you can pre-book your ski and board rental on ifyouski. You could save up to 40%! Simply click HERE >>
