About Skiworld

Made in the Mountains since 1982

At Skiworld, we don’t just sell ski holidays – we live them. Founded in 1982 by Ian Coleby, a passionate skier who still sits as our Chairman today, Skiworld was born from a love of the mountains and a belief that ski holidays should be created by skiers, for skiers. More than 40 winters later, that belief still runs through everything we do.


Our ethos

From one man’s idea in the Alps to the UK’s largest independent ski chalet specialist, our journey has been shaped by the same values that inspired us on day one: passion, expertise, and a love for fresh tracks.

We’ve weathered recessions, ash clouds, Brexit, and even a pandemic – and we’re proud to still be here, stronger than ever, with five consecutive British Travel Awards under our belts (2020–2024).

Our expertise

Chalets are at the very heart of Skiworld. With a hand-picked collection of 65+ exclusive Skiworld chalets across Europe, plus an extended range of self-catered apartments reaching from the Alps to North America, we’ve got a ski holiday to suit every style. Whether you’re after a cosy retreat for two or a spacious catered chalet for the whole family, we know what makes a mountain getaway truly special.

But it’s not just about the properties – it’s about the people behind them. Our team of Ski Specialists have skied in countless resorts and stayed in the majority of our chalets. That means when they make a recommendation, it comes with first-hand experience, insider knowledge, and genuine passion for helping you find the right fit.
