The Alps mountain range undoubtedly offers holidaymakers the best location to ski and snowboard in the region of central Europe and there are so many fantastic and highly varied resorts to choose from. The snow season tends to last from early winter to spring (typically around December to April in Europe). At these times the Alps can offer great on-piste snow conditions during the day as well as fantastic après-ski entertainment for skiers and boarders of all ages and abilities to enjoy during the evening hours.

The Alps span a number of different European countries each with their own unique ski resorts. Austria, Switzerland and France all have world class ski resorts, but personally I think some of the best places to enjoy a skiing or snowboarding holiday in Europe can be found in Italy. There are literally hundreds of different resorts to choose from if you want to ski Italy. Resorts and locations such as Aprica, Courmayeur, Gressoney Monte Rose and Sestriere are some of the most popular and frequented ski resorts in the northern region of the country. Visitors can enjoy great slopes to test their skills during the day - as well as all the great nightlife you would expect of a good quality ski resort: with restaurants, pizzerias and bars aplenty to keep you and your friends occupied and partying long into the early hours.

It is always recommended that those looking for a ski trip in Italy should save time and money by booking online - as this is often the best way to get some truly great value ski holiday deals to help make your Euro go a little further. By booking online either early or late in the ski season when prices are often lower, visitors may be able to make even more savings and grab a real ski holiday bargain
