Marcus Blunt, Co-Founder of Heidi, comments: “If bluebird days on quieter slopes with the warm sun on your face sounds like heaven, opt for a spring ski break. Resorts are still in full swing but the slopes are less crowded than February half term. Going later in the season tends to be cheaper too, so you can find fantastic deals. Lots of our customers also love the option of being able to book a short ski break or long weekend.”
He adds: “For the best spring snow conditions, choose a resort with access to high-altitude slopes. Some of our top spring sellers are Chamonix, Flaine and Avoriaz in France for this reason. These particular resorts are also ideal for a long weekend, as they’re just a quick transfer to and from Geneva, which has lots of flight options.”
