It’s been a steady couple weeks in the Alps with a mix of snow days and beautiful bluebird spring days. Conditions are great across Europe and it’s a perfect week for half term. The coming weeks promise to be the best of the season’, said our Sales Director, Adam Johnson. ‘The conditions are the best we’ve had this year, the days are longer and the slopes are quieter before the Easter rush.
‘There’s also the bonus that, with the euro exchange rate so good at the moment, you get a lot more for your money in the mountainside bars and restaurants’.
More snowfall is predicted this weekend, plus huge dumps of snow towards the end of the month. If you are heading out to the slopes next week or for the first week of March – don’t forget to take your powder skis and snowboards! See below the long range snow forecast.
