Tignes, France

Fly into Chambery Airport

Kick off your year in style with a trip to Tignes. Along with Val d’Isère, you'll have 300km of winter playground to enjoy. Tignes is made up of several villages, perched at different altitudes, each offering something a little different. Opt for Val Claret or Le Lac if you're after a buzzy atmosphere, while Le Lavachet, Tignes 1800 and Les Brévières call for laidback stays. Snow-sure slopes are all but guaranteed up on the Grand Motte glacier at 3,456m too. You'll be in your element whizzing down the tree-lined runs, and there's even free lifts in the nursery areas for the first-timers.

Méribel, France

Fly into Chambery Airport

Say bonjour to a resort which puts you in the heart of the Three Valleys. 600km at your ski tips... What could be better? The range of runs makes it a perfect choice for groups of mixed abilities. Plus, there's just as much to do off the mountain as there is on it. Fromage fans you’re in luck! From fondue to raclette, cheese and potatoes are available on almost every restaurant menu here. Pair it with a glass of rich red wine and you’ve landed in après-ski heaven.

Cervinia, Italy

Fly into Turin Airport

It's all about the Matterhorn views in this pretty part of Italy. Wide, sweeping runs are Cervinia's forte, but there's also a buzzy après scene and a great selection of accommodation to choose from. It borders Swiss superstar Zermatt, so you can tick off two countries in one trip. Any non-skiers in your group will find plenty to keep them occupied. We're talking scenic alpine spas, ice karting and more.

Alpe d'Huez

Fly into Grenoble Airport

Alpe d'Huez is a great all-rounder, thanks to its reliable snow record, sunny slopes and speedy lift systems. Variety is the name of the game when it comes to the 250km ski area. Beginner? The nursery area in the Bergers part of town is the perfect place to learn. More of a seasoned pro? You won't want to leave without taking on the 16km-long Sarenne, one of the longest black runs in the world!

Arinsal, Andorra

Fly into Barcelona Airport

If great-value accommodation and beginner-friendly slopes sound like your cup of tea, then you're a match for Arinsal in Andorra! Families flock here for the great range of confidence-building greens and blues and the top-rated ski schools. For more of a challenge, take the cable car over to the Pal side of the mountain, where you'll find some steeper reds. Evenings are lively, so join the crowds and unclip and unwind in one of the many bars on the main street.

Chamonix, France

Fly into Geneva Airport

When it comes to winter destinations, it doesn't get much more iconic than Chamonix. Nestled at the foot of Mont Blanc, it's one of the oldest resorts in France. With a terrific terrain of mostly red and black runs, it's better suited to those who have a few ski trips under their belt. It's also home to one of the most famous off-piste routes, the 20km Vallée Blanche. And that's not all! Off-slope activities span everything from ice-skating rinks to casinos.

So where do you fancy? It’s all in your gloved hands.
