The current season’s first guests may have only arrived at Ski Beat’s high altitude French ski chalets a couple of weeks ago, but the company has already launched its 2025-26 programme. Ski Beat’s Laura Hazell says: “Around 30% of our guests book their next ski holiday with us within a couple of weeks of their return home.
As part of its initiative to Get Brits Skiing, Ski Beat has introduced two new Toe in the Snow beginners’ weeks for rusty or first-time skiers. Ski Beat’s Laura Hazell explains: “Skiing is often shrouded in mystery for those who didn’t take family ski holidays as children. Around 1.5 million Brits ski annually, but the number could be much higher.
Ski Beat, the top UK package ski chalet company to France, is offering two new spring ski weeks for beginners to put a ‘toe in the snow’ and discover the mountain holiday that grips 1.5million British skiers each year.
Charlotte Ward, from Salisbury was rocked to her ski socks when her childhood sweetheart and partner of three years got down on one knee and proposed in deep snow, at the top of Europe’s highest ski area, while battling a skiing injury.
Ski Beat, the package operator of catered chalet holidays to France, has launched its 37th ski season featuring ski holidays in almost 50 chalets in snow-sure resorts in the French Alps.
These include Les Arcs, la Plagne, La Rosiere, la Tania, Val d’Isere, Val Thorens, Courchevel le Praz and all holidays between December 2023 and April 2024 are inclusive of return Gatwick and Manchester flights and transfers.
Ongoing snowfall in the French Alps is leading to a late surge in bookings for the rest of the season, according to UK tour operators.
After a spell of dry weather, there have been recent heavy snowfalls across many resorts in the western Alps, especially France, providing a good base for the next few weeks and going into Easter. The snow has followed by blue skies and spring-like temperatures, creating ideal conditions for many French resorts.
