Quiet slopes, long days, t-shirt skiing conditions, not to mention a whole season’s worth of snow cover built up on the pistes over the course of the winter! Yup, spring skiing is great – however, not every accommodation is perfect for late season skiing.

Heading somewhere high altitude and snow sure is crucial – after all, who wants to have to take the lift back into resort because the snow cover is insufficient. However, don't fret - we’ve had fantastic snow this winter so this is unlikely, but make sure you check out the snow depths in each resort before you settle on a property.

Finally, picking a property with some great last minute savings will complete the perfect holiday choice. Luckily, we’ve done the leg work for you – here’s our top 10 properties for spring skiing.

 

Val Thorens

Val Thoren is un-questionably one of our favourite late season spots in the alps. With the resort built at a staggering and snow sure height of 2300m, with the highest skiing being at 3230m you won’t fail to find some great snow here, no matter how late in the season!
