Top 5 ski resorts for skiing in December

After waiting all summer for your next snow fix a trip to the mountains in December is an exciting treat and a must for all ski and snowboard lovers. You will be the envy of all of your friends as you are the first to conquer the slopes. Can fit in a full week’s skiing? Squeeze in a 3 or 4 night short break in December.

Skiing so early in the season does have its risks so we recommend a snow-sure resort for the best conditions possible. Many high altitude resorts would have had snow for a month or more by the time December comes around so top slopes in many leading resorts will be in good condition.

A ski holiday in December is also a perfect way to get in the festive spirit, there’s no better way to spend Christmas than in the snow! Enjoy a truly unique Christmas with friends and family surrounded by beautiful alpine views, making snow angels in fresh snow, visiting Christmas markets and taking a husky sleigh ride through a magical snowscape.
