FAQs about February ski holidays
Your questions answered by our February ski holiday expert
Where is best to go skiing in February?
France, Austria, Switzerland, and Norway are all great places to be in February, as Europe’s slopes experience peak conditions, with excellent snowfall across the Alps, Pyrenees, and Scandinavian mountain ranges.
For the February half-term, we recommend exploring resorts with large ski areas, such as France’s Les Arcs and La Plagne, and Austria’s Ischgl, as these are better options to escape the crowds while still finding plenty of ski school and ski hire options.
Where are you guaranteed snow skiing in February?
February is one of the best months for snow in the Alps, with the white stuff being seen all the way from high-altitude slopes like Val Thorens and St. Anton, down to lower altitudes like Filzmoos in Austria.
Though snow is never a guarantee, February is by far one of the best times for big snow dumps on the slopes. High-altitude resorts like Tignes and Zermatt are your safest bets.
Is February a good month to ski?
Is February a good time to ski in Europe?
Yes, it is. Snow conditions are usually at their peak in February, and most resorts have all their terrain open and accessible ahead of the February half-term break. Just be aware that with this comes higher demand, meaning more people on the slopes, and higher prices for accommodation and flights.
Where to find cheap February ski holidays?
Bulgaria’s Bansko and Borovets, Andorra’s Pas de la Casa and Soldeu, and Poland’s Zakopane all offer great cheap ski holidays in February. If you’re still looking to ski in the Alps or Dolomites, we recommend checking out large ski areas in France, Austria, Italy, and Switzerland.
Is February a good time to ski in Switzerland?
Yes, resorts like Verbier, Zermatt, Davos, and Grindelwald all experience excellent snowfall through February, making it a great month to visit. Just be aware that with these fair conditions and the school holidays, most resorts will experience larger crowds and higher prices than at other times of the year.
Is February a good time to ski in France?
Yes. France’s major ski areas, such as the Three Valleys and Paradiski, are in top condition during February, making it an excellent pick for early February escapes and family ski trips during the half-term.
Is February a good time to ski in Andorra?
Yes. February is a great time to ski in Andorra, with reliable snow seen across resorts in the Grandvalira and Vallnord ski areas. Andorra also proves to be a more affordable alternative to the Alps, making it an ideal destination for those seeking cheap half-term ski holidays.
What Italian ski resort has the most snow?
Arabba in the Italian Dolomites is Italy’s snowiest ski resort come February, with Cervinia’s high altitudes also boasting some of the country's best snow records.
Where to go for a Bulgaria ski holiday in February?
