The most popular skiing destinations are in Italy and France with the two of them sharing the Alps. Areas like La Thuile and Cervinia are very popular in Italy and can be reached from various airports across the UK. France has great family destinations like Tignes which can be expensive and Val d’Isere which is very reasonable and has hotels that are half the price of some in Tignes. Making sure you check as much accommodation as possible because there are many which are expensive but there are one’s that have much lower costs and help make cheap ski holidays.
