Last Minute Ski Holidays

Planning a last minute ski holiday is a great way to enjoy excellent value on catered chalets, hotels and self-catered apartments. Our last minute ski deals are updated regularly with the latest availability across France and Austria, with dates added up to six weeks before departure. Many skiers book late to take advantage of fresh snowfall, quieter slopes or simply the chance for a spontaneous escape to the mountains.

Below you can browse our current last minute ski holidays, including chalets, hotels and apartments in some of Europe’s best resorts, as well as last minute ski weekends. Prices can change quickly at this time of year, so if you see something that suits your plans, it’s best to book sooner rather than later. If you opt for a last minute catered chalet, you can relax after a day on the slopes with six hearty evening meals and free-flowing wine included in the price.

Ready to Book? Packing List for a Last Minute Ski Holiday

When it comes to going on last minute ski holidays, we have over 40 years of experience and know a thing or two about how and what to take with you, especially if you're packing without much notice! While equipment and luggage have evolved over time, certain essentials remain unchanged. To ensure you're well-prepared for a week on the slopes, here's our definitive list of must-pack items:

1. Ski wear, layers, technical fabrics - OK this is more than one item, but the key to an efficient ski outfit is temperature control, aka layering. From the inside out, to last you the week you’ll need three pairs of good ski socks, a couple of base layers (bottoms and tops), ski pants, a microfleece/down second layer, a waterproof jacket/shell and gloves. It’s a good idea to wear glove liners in the depths of winter for insulation, and waterproof gloves or a second dry pair in your backpack if the snow is heavy.
2. Backpack – Opt for a 30-liter backpack that's not too big or small. Look for a "low-profile" sports backpack with waist and chest straps for comfort during long ski days. Ensure it has convenient pockets for storage. While any regular backpack will do, it may be uncomfortable and cumbersome while skiing.
3. Eyewear – Protect your eyes from the sun's UV rays. Invest in a good pair of ski goggles suitable for various weather conditions and a quality pair of sunglasses for travel and après-ski. If you wear glasses, consider bringing contact lenses for a more convenient skiing experience. Ensure your eyewear provides UVA and UVB protection, and polarized lenses are ideal for snowy conditions.
4. Sun protection – This is a must. Pack a high-factor sun cream and lip balm to protect and moisturize your skin in all conditions. Don't forget to bring them from home as resort prices can be steep.
5. Neck-gaiter – These versatile garments protect your head and neck from the sun and cold. Lightweight and breathable, they occupy minimal space in your jacket pocket and prove invaluable in various weather conditions. Avoid thick fleece options that can make you too hot and uncomfortable.
6. Helmet – The most crucial piece of equipment for skiing or snowboarding is a helmet. Never hit the slopes without one, and encourage your friends to do the same. Don't use luggage space as an excuse to neglect this essential safety gear.
7. Loafing/loungewear – After a long day on the slopes, there's nothing better than slipping into comfy PJs, joggers, or a hoodie. You'll likely wear these every day, so they're worth the luggage space.
8. Slippers/house shoes – Many chalets enforce a "no shoes inside" rule. Don't regret leaving your cosy slippers at home when you find yourself walking through melted snow in the hallway. Surprisingly, these are often the most coveted items among those who didn't bring them.
9. Everyday clothes – While exploring the resort villages, you'll need some non-skiing attire. Instead of packing an outfit for each day, consider the time you'll spend in regular clothes. Pack a pair or two of jeans, two or three tops, and a sweatshirt. Your warm ski jacket will provide an extra layer.
10. Phone charger + gubbins, including a travel adapter – We all rely on our phones, so don't forget your charger. Also, ensure you have a travel adapter to avoid inflated prices in resorts. Cold temperatures can drain your phone's battery, so a power bank comes in handy. Remember all the necessary charging cables.

When you book a Skiworld package holiday, there are no hidden costs and you'll enjoy hold luggage as part of your flight. If you're not sure of flight weight limits, check out baggage information or get in touch with our ski specialists.
