December, January, and February might be the most popular months for a ski holiday, but don’t rule out March ski holidays. Despite some misconceptions, many resorts still feature reliable snow in the spring - especially those at high altitudes.
So, if you like the idea of warmer days with longer sunshine hours and want to save money, we’ve got some great options for you.
Why Book a Spring Skiing Break?
If you’ve ever been skiing in mid-December to early January, you’ll know that hitting the slopes is easier said than done, with crowds everywhere. February can be a bit quieter, but the school holidays mean that many resorts in Europe fill up quickly.
Choosing late-season ski holidays gives you quieter slopes, warmer weather, and lower costs.
One concern is snow quality and what the spring ski conditions will be like. For this reason, we usually recommend choosing high-altitude and glacier resorts, as the snow lasts for longer.
While some lower-altitude resorts will still have snow in March, it depends on weather conditions.
Where Is Best for March Skiing?
Now it’s time to look at some of the best ski resorts available for spring. We’ve picked the following options based on their snow-sure conditions and other factors:
Val Thorens, France
As Europe’s highest ski resort,Val Thorens sits at 2,300 metres, so snow is pretty much guaranteed in March. Plus, you're within easy access of the infamous Three Valleys Ski area, which is ideal for groups with skiers of different experience levels.
Wake up to sunshine in the morning, enjoy long days of skiing, then experience the area's many restaurants and bars.
Tignes, France
Home to the Grande Motte Glacier and high altitudes,Tignes is one of France’s most popular resorts. When you stay here, you also get access to Val d'Isère, the neighbouring ski area.
No matter if you’re travelling with beginners, intermediates, or seasoned skiers, Tignes offers something for everyone.
Obergurgl, Austria
Obergurgl offers the refined Alpine charm of Austria, with beautiful spring scenery. The village itself is at 1,930 metres, but some of the skiing exceeds 3,000 metres.
Oberburgl isn’t known for a lively party scene, making it ideal if you want to enjoy a relaxing family or couple’s break.
Cervinia, Italy
Cervinia offers the perfect combination of high-altitude skiing and Matterhorn scenery. The resort gives you plenty of opportunities to explore the slopes, and advanced skiers can easily cross into Zermatt for more challenging slopes.
If you’re a fan of long lunches and Italian cuisine, you’ll definitely appreciate Cervinia.
