Easter Ski Holidays 2026


Easter Ski Holidays

Looking for big mountain days and big blue skies? Easter’s your golden ticket. With longer daylight hours, warming sunshine, and high-altitude resorts still holding great snow, spring skiing doesn’t get much better. 

Fresh snowfalls can hit well into April, topping up the pistes for cruisy mornings and soft afternoon turns. And when the lifts stop turning, the fun keeps going – from Easter egg hunts in the snow to ziplining and sun-soaked après on panoramic terraces. 

There’s something for every skier at Easter – families, first-timers, sun-chasers and powder hounds alike. Just make sure you snap up your spot early… spring skiing waits for no one. Find an Easter ski chalet for your next trip to the Alps.

Book your Easter ski holiday online or over the phone with a deposit from £175pp - including lift passes and ski hire with no extra money down when you book a Ski Bundle! Hop to it and find an Easter ski deal...

When is the best time to book an Easter ski holiday?

As soon as the dates are out and the snow's on your mind. Easter is a popular time for families and sun-loving skiers, so booking early gives you more choice of resorts, chalets and flights — especially for those peak Easter weekend slots when the kids are off.

Is there good snow for skiing at Easter?

Yes, if you know where to go. Higher-altitude resorts and those with glacier access usually offer great late-season snow. You might even score some spring powder or enjoy cruisy morning corduroy followed by sunny terrace lunches.

Which ski resorts are snow-sure at Easter?

Head high. Tignes, Val Thorens, La Plagne and Les Arcs are all great bets, with plenty of altitude and glacier skiing to keep conditions solid even into April. Over in North America, places like Whistler and Banff also hold their snow well.

Are Easter ski holidays good for families?

Definitely. The days are longer, the sun’s warmer, and there’s loads going on for kids — from Easter egg hunts to tobogganing and family-friendly après. It’s a more relaxed vibe than mid-season madness.

What ski deals are available for Easter 2025?

You’ll find early booking offers, group discounts, and special rates on family chalet holidays. Keep an eye on our Easter Offers page — we update it regularly with the latest packages, including Ski-All-In deals to save you time and money.

Which Easter ski resorts have the best après-ski?

Val d’Isère, St Anton, and Les Deux Alpes bring the party, even in spring. Expect sunny terraces, live music and legendary bars still going strong after the lifts shut. Easter après = sunglasses, beers, and dancing in ski boots.

Is Easter a good time for beginner skiers?

It’s ideal. Softer snow, quieter slopes (outside of the school holidays), and more sunshine make it a great time to learn. Plus, ski schools are still in full swing — just book ahead to secure a space.

Is it cheaper to ski at Easter compared to February half term?

Usually, yes. Easter often falls outside of the absolute peak pricing period, especially if UK school holidays don’t overlap. You’ll find better value on chalets, flights and lift passes — without compromising on snow or sun.

What are the weather conditions like for skiing at Easter?

Spring skiing brings bluebird days, longer daylight and milder temps. Mornings tend to be crisp with good snow, while afternoons are perfect for soaking up the sun. Just pack layers — and sunscreen to avoid a google tan line!

What’s included in an Easter ski holiday package?

Depending on what you book, our packages can include flights, transfers, accommodation, lift passes and ski hire. Go for a Ski Bundle and you’ll have it all sorted in one go — less faff, more skiing. With a saving of £50pp when you book the full package too, there's more money to spend on al fresco mountain lunches!

Looking for a different kind of adventure? An Easter ski holiday can also serve as a great time to experience the Le Shuttle crossing, plus it leaves more room for Easter egg packing in your luggage!

Can I get group discounts on Easter ski trips?

You bet! Groups often get special deals, like free places, discounted lift passes or chalet savings. It’s one of the best-value ways to ski at Easter — plus, more mates = more fun on the mountain.

Family & Group Easter Ski Holidays

Easter skiing holidays are always a firm favourite with families. To find out more about our family-specific offers, including free places for children, please see our family skiing page.

The Paradiski area consists of Les Arcs and La Plagne has always been a firm favourite with families and with their north-facing slopes and high resorts they make the perfect destination for an Easter ski holiday. The Easter Bunny also makes a special stop in Arc 1950 to hide Easter eggs around the village for children and adults alike to find.

But it doesn't just have to be about the kids! The whole family can make the most of the celebrations and enjoy a ski break during the annual celebration. To make the most of the fabulous spring conditions, head to Val Thorens or Tignes where the extra altitude makes for two of the longest seasons in Europe. This allows you to ski to your heart’s content.

Ski Chalet Easter Egg Hunt!

It’s important to keep the mystery of Easter alive while you’re away from home, so we’ve got something extra special planned which is sure to be a hit with all the family.

Children aged 2-11 can enjoy their very own Easter egg hunt on all chalet holidays during selected dates! When the little ones are off at ski school, the Easter bunny is going to take time off from the slopes to visit your chalet and leave chocolatey treats for the little ones (and maybe some of the big ones) to find. Available during selected dates in April.

Easter Skiing In North America

An Easter ski holiday is also one of the best times of year to hit the slopes in North America. Early spring brings some of the biggest snowfalls to ski resorts in Canada and the USA so you can experience amazing dry, fluffy powder on the slopes and eat lunch in the blissful sunshine with stunning views - what else could you ask for?!
