Longer days, sunny terraces, spring snow. Easter ski weekends are one of the best-kept family secrets in ski. The trick is heading high and booking early - especially if you're hunting Easter weekend ski deals:
- Val Thorens - 1hr 30 from Chambery - at 2,300m it's one of the highest resorts in the Alps. Spring snow is reliable, almost everything is ski-in-ski-out, and the 3 Vallées is on your doorstep.
- Obergurgl - 1hr 30 from Innsbruck - one of Austria's highest resorts, with snow-sure slopes and a quiet, family-friendly feel.
- Tignes - 2hr from Chambery - the Grande Motte glacier keeps the season running into May, making it a top pick for Easter weekend ski breaks. Share the slopes with Val d'Isère and finish with sunshine après.
