Up in the Alps, the ski-son is far from being over. There are snow many reasons to go skiing in February! Days are longer, pistes are less busy and most resorts are covered in pristine powder at this time of the year...

Fly to Geneva:

Snuggled by the mighty Mont Blanc, Geneva opens doors to the French and Swiss Alps. Now, onto finding your mountaintop…

Morzine

Whether you’re looking to rack up the kilometres or have some quality family time, Morzine delivers. Located around 70km away from Geneva, this alpine village is a firm favourite when it comes to the French Alps. As a part of the Portes du Solei ski area, Morzine connects you to over 600km of pistes, so one thing’s for sure – you’ll never run out of slopes to conquer. Plus, this means beginners and super shredders can ski together too!

Chamonix

Skiing superstars, this one’s for you. Nothing screams off-piste action more than the highest summit in the French Alps and a resort name that echoes throughout skiing competitions. Welcome to Chamonix, where the terrain was made for freestyle action and the fairytale-like village thrives with an electric atmosphere that will see you dancing until dawn. First-timers will find wide, blue-coloured runs, but if you keep pointing your skis up, unclip at après, where an Aperol will be waiting for you. And let’s be honest, we’d go to Chamonix just for the Mont Blanc views…

Zermatt

If you’re flying to Geneva, you might as well try out the Swiss Alps, and pistes don’t get better than the ones in Zermatt. Shadowed by the iconic pyramid-shaped Matterhorn, this resort sits at a lofty 1,600m, while the slopes reach almost 4000m! Blue skies, snow-sure slopes and breathtaking scenery – this is what dreams are made of... Yes, Switzerland comes with a heftier price tag, but when you snatch a bargain with Jet2.com flights, you can splurge when you get there.

Fly to Chambery:

Nestled in the pocket of the French Alps, Chambery is your glorious gateway to more than 250 resorts. With so many spots to choose from, let us help you decide.

Méribel

If you’re hitting the slopes with mini skiers, your best bet is Méribel. Sitting in the middle of the Three Valleys ski area, Méribel offers a great range of runs, ski schools and over 600km of pistes! Not to mention the yeti-themed snow park - that’s a winner for the kids! And when the speedy lifts take you down the mountain, a traditional pub and some hearty fondue will hit the spot for the parents.

Val Thorens

Thanks to its sky-high location, Val Thorens has the bragging rights to the title of the highest resort in Europe. And while February flakes might be unpredictable in certain places, Val Thorens is as reliably white as it gets. Add cinematic views, amazing après and a massive ski area and you’ve got an alps-olute winner on your hands. Do we even need to mention ski-in, ski-out accommodation or are you convinced already?

If you’re feeling adventurous, there are snow parks, snow biking experiences and you can even try tobogganing! Oh, and it’s the only purpose-built resort in Austria, so you know everything here is made for your convenience.

Kaprun

Say hallo to snow-sure and oh-so picturesque Kaprun. February is the prime time to hit the slopes here, thanks to the Kitzsteinhorn glacier, which boasts one of the highest snow parks in Austria. Plus, there’s another terrain park and a 150m superpipe where snowboarding stars can test their tricks and show off their skills! And that’s not all – the après-scene is lively, while sweeping views of the mountains can be seen from most restaurant terraces.

Zell am See

Buckle up your boots, we’re pointing the skis at Kaprun’s next-door neighbour, Zell am See. A total family favourite, Zell am See is a fantastic resort for beginners and advanced boarders, with over 130km of pistes... And nothing compares to the feeling of whizzing down the mountain through the pretty pine forests, where every turn unveils a new view of the grand peaks.

Fly to Innsbruck

Zillertal Valley

A mere 30-minute car ride from the city gets you to the Zillertal Valley, where eight resorts are dotted along the train tracks. The super ski pass grants access to all the slopes in the valley and it only takes around 10 to 15 minutes on the adorable train to get from one town to the other! Mayrhofen is particularly popular, while families will love the plucked-from-postcards chalets in Aschau and beginners should prepare for pistes in Kaltenbach. The Austrian Alps are calling…
