Sand or snow? Beach or piste? We think ski trips beat beach getaways hands down, every time. So much so that we’ve come up with 5 reasons to choose a ski break for your next holiday.

1. The thrill of the slopes 

The butterflies in your stomach, the icy winds in your hair, the rush and buzz of adrenaline: nothing beats the feeling of carving up the slopes. So if you’re looking for a more exhilarating experience from your next holiday, this is it.

2. Beautiful scenery

Imagine snow-dusted mountains, rugged peaks and chocolate-box villages. Now picture a poolside scattered with sun loungers …

Call us biased, but nothing compares to a ski holiday when it comes to scenery.

3. The weather

You can ski or snowboard in pretty much any weather. So you can book a skiing holiday any time of the year.

But if it’s unseasonably wet, windy and cold on your summer beach holiday, it can put a downer on the whole trip.

4. Après-ski 

Ski resorts are famous for their nightlife. After a long day skiing or snowboarding, you can head to the bars for a much-loved après-ski session of live music, cold beers and table dancing.

5. The snow 

Who needs sand when you can have snow? Kids love it. Adults love it. It makes everything look prettier. It cushions your fall. And who doesn’t love a good snowball fight?
