Your guide to guaranteed alpine snow

Not all ski resorts can guarantee perfect snow. With rising costs and warmer winters, we have compiled a list of snow-sure ski resorts so you can book with confidence.

1. Tignes & Val d’Isère, France

Sun setting behind snow-covered mountains, casting a warm glow over a town with tall buildings in the foreground.

“Both professionally and personally, I have had some of my favourite skiing in Tignes late in the season. It’s just a different feeling. Plenty of daylight, empty slopes, often some of the very best conditions with fresh snow and spring temperatures, and to top it off, surprisingly good value. At Ellis Brigham, we have always held a company ski test and training trip in late Spring, and Tignes has delivered the goods in a big way the last 2 years, so much so that each year we have increasing numbers of brands and friends coming to join us. What can beat a long day in the mountains, Spring weather and being able to stay outside after the lifts close? In fact, I’m not sure I should even be sharing this…” - Steve Wells, Ski Equipment Buyer

10. Avoriaz, France

Snow-covered slope with a few evergreen trees under a clear blue sky.

"Avoriaz has delivered great early-season conditions for me several times, making it a good bet for cheaper pre-Christmas trips.  

For me, one of the major benefits of Avoriaz is its accessibility. If you’re keeping costs and emissions down by driving from the UK, it is a good couple of hours closer than some other resorts. 

It may not be as picturesque as some other resorts and can look a bit like Gotham City when stripped of its snowy coat, but Avoriaz is car-free, offering from the door piste skiing and ski touring and a great atmosphere for skiers."  - Kerry, Digital Marketing Manager
