Glide into a Sunweb skiing holiday this winter
Enjoy affordable skiing in incredible destinations with Sunweb
Planning a family ski holiday can come with a hefty price tag, especially when factoring in all the extras and equipment. So to keep costs down and still get that winter holiday of your dreams, take a look at Europe’s largest ski tour operator Sunweb. They offer great value holidays for families, with a price match promise and £25 extra discount if you find a cheaper deal. So whatever suits your budget, you don’t need to max it out with inflated costs.
Sunweb destinations include resorts throughout France, Austria, Andorra, Italy, Sweden and Norway, and with 220 to choose from, you’ll find packages to suit every family. Lift passes are included with all holidays, and you can also tailor your package to include extras such as ski rental – included as standard on France packages with flights – as well as lessons and transfers, making things easy as (pizza slice) pie. And they’re ABTA and ATOL protected, of course, so your money is safe.
With your lift pass included, there’s more snowy fun to play with
Having a lift pass included on your ski holiday often means savings of £250 per week, which you can put to good use elsewhere – ski lessons, bobsleigh rides, or fabulous new looks for the piste. So whichever mountain range takes your fancy, it’s a perk well worth signing up for.
Free ski lift passes means more snowy fun
From the Alps to Andorra, Sunweb ski resorts have you covered
Decisions, decisions – having so many great destinations to choose from can be a tough call, but it’s well worth the dilemma. In France, you’ll find resorts in iconic French Alps destinations from Flaine to Avoriaz, La Plagne to Les Arcs, Les Deux Alpes to Alpe D’Huez, and many more. French resorts are enduringly beloved for their family-friendliness, world class pistes, high altitudes, and exciting array of entertainment on and off the slopes.
Then there’s Austria, another family-friendly winner with Sunweb resort areas such as Mayrhofen in the Zillertal Valley, with altitudes up to 2500m in ski areas, and varied terrain suitable for all levels. It’s also home to one of Austria’s steepest slopes, the Harakiri Run. And St. Anton am Arlberg in the Arlberg region is the birthplace of modern alpine skiing, with 305km of pistes in Austria’s largest linked ski area of Ski Arlberg.
For something a bit different, try Andorra, at the heart of the Pyrenees between France and Spain, in the valley of Grandvalira. Boasting a towering 65 peaks above 2000m, Andorra is the second highest mountain state in Europe – and with tax-free shopping and renowned fine dining, Andorra’s capital, Andorra la Vella, is worth a visit too, as are the thermal baths and spa at the Caldea centre.
With 220 destinations, the choice of pistes is endless
