Beginner Ski Holidays

You never forget your first time!

Skiing is a wonderful hobby, but everyone has to start somewhere. We realise that booking a ski holiday can seem a little overwhelming if you've never been before, but as we at Skiworld are "made in the mountains", we know exactly what it takes to get you off to a flying start, and not a giant tumble. It's not just pistes that can be beginner friendly, we can advise you on and help you to choose the resort, accommodation and extras that best suit you, so you can make the most of your holiday and be tackling those reds and blacks before you know it.

What to expect...

There are a lot of options to decide on when taking a ski holiday - where to go, where to stay, what type of accommodation to stay in, where to rent skis from, where are the best places for après-ski, what is après ski?! But our friendly sales team are here to help. We are all passionate skiers and boarders at Skiworld, who love talking about anything snow, so don't be afraid to ask questions!

If this is your first ski holiday, the easiest way to get started is by booking one of our packages, which include regional flights (or Eurostar to some French resorts), transfers and accommodation. We offer both self-catered ski apartments and catered ski chalets in some of the world's top snow-sure resorts and we can also organise lift passes, ski hire, ski school and learn2ski or board packs, so you can rest assured that everything will be ready for you before you arrive in resort.

Our favourite resorts for first timers:

La Plagne - offers some lovely cruisy blues to perfect yours moves on and ski-in/ski-out accommodation in Belle-Plagne, so you don't have too far to go to the nursery slopes or the ski school meeting point.

La Rosiere - offers easy access to the slopes and two great nursery ski areas for first-timers on a beginners ski holiday. The ESF ski school here is also particularly good for disabled skiers.

Alpe d'Huez - offers easy-to-reach nursery slopes and some outstanding green and blue runs to play on. This ski resort also holds the record for the highest number of sunny days per season so there is less chance of having to contend with adverse weather and white outs.

With our help, all you'll have to worry about is mastering those turns and getting down the hill!
