Seasoned ski fan or snowboarder looking for accommodation on the slopes? Think ski holidays in a chalet or apartment on the piste and make sure you don't miss out on this season’s best powder.

Never skied before but always wanted to try? Why not make this your first winter on the slopes and discover why so many come back year after year to try out new runs, have a go at cross-country skiing or try their legs out on a snowboard.

Perhaps you are simply looking for a week of winter fun and snow? Take the whole family away, or book a chalet with friends for a wintry break.

Holiday homes in ski locations offer stunning scenery and a great range of winter activities. Take your pick from Austria ski chalets, ski apartments in France, Switzerland ski chalets and more besides. After a hard day on the slopes you will want to relax for some après ski so choose from a selection of chalets and apartments at ski resorts around the world.

Top Tips

The right equipment is essential. You need to stay warm so be sure to have a quality ski jacket.
Make sure you have comfortable boots, as this will minimise the inevitable post-ski blistering.
Buy ski or snowboard clothing and equipment out of season to get a decent price.
Unless you’re an experienced skier, a day on the slopes will really take it out of you. Make sure you are doing regular exercise before the holiday so your body can cope better with the physical demands.
Plan your break so that as well as plenty of skiing or boarding, you enjoy some après-ski as well. Pick a chalet with a Jacuzzi, or other luxury facilities and make it a holiday to remember.
